01 Aluminum slats Each slat is field-marked and cut to the angle needed for its position on the uphill run. Consistent measuring creates a clean, continuous diagonal line.
02 C-channel receivers The cut slat ends sleeve into C-channels mounted to the post or wall. This gives the installer flexibility to create custom slope angles.
03 3 x 3 square posts The video discusses heavy-duty and light-duty square post options. The appropriate post depends on the mounting method, span, height and project requirements.
04 Rear fasteners The presenter explains that each slat end is secured through the back of the C-channel with two screws, keeping the primary face visually clean.
05 Channel covers and caps Finishing accessories conceal gaps, fastener areas and open channel ends for a smoother transition between the slat, channel and post.
06 Optional bottom channel A lower C-channel can receive the descending slats along a retaining wall or base, producing a more controlled and finished bottom edge.
Survey the uphill run Confirm the fence line, total elevation change, panel widths, retaining-wall conditions and post locations. Measure the rise over a known horizontal run so the diagonal angle can be planned before repetitive cuts begin. Do not assume the grade is consistent across the full run.
Set or mount the posts plumb Position the 3 x 3 square posts vertically even though the ground is sloped. Confirm spacing, alignment and mounting conditions before loading the system with slats.
Install the C-channels Mount the channels to the square posts or approved wall surface in the required position. Maintain a straight installation reference so both ends of the slats enter at the intended depth. Plan rear access before fixing a channel close to a property line or wall.
Mark the required angle Bring the slat to the channel, transfer the actual angle and confirm orientation before cutting. A template can improve repeatability when the grade remains uniform, but field verification is still important.
Cut and test-fit each slat Make a clean angle cut, deburr the edge and test the insertion depth. The slat should sleeve into the C-channel without binding, excessive force or a visible open gap at the face.
Secure from the back Once the slat is positioned, fasten it through the rear of the C-channel. The video specifies two screws at each slat end. Use the fastener type and placement provided for the selected Aluglobus system and project detail.
Control spacing as the fence rises Check the reveal between every slat and monitor the top and bottom lines as work progresses. Small spacing errors can compound across a full uphill panel.
Finish the channels Install the appropriate gap covers, channel covers and end caps. Where the design includes a bottom C-channel, verify that it receives the slats cleanly without trapping debris or interfering with drainage.
Option 1 Two-way post system The extrusion channels are integrated into two sides of the post, allowing slats to sleeve directly into the post profile. Integrated, clean post connection Can support straight or directional transitions Video mentions an optional 1 1/4-inch steel insert Selection should follow project loading and mounting needs
Featured method Square post with C-channel An external channel is mounted to the post or wall, giving the installer a flexible receiver for custom-cut diagonal slats. Flexible for custom uphill angles Allows concealed rear fastening Works with channel covers and caps Can be paired with a lower receiving channel
