01Aluminum slatsEach 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.
02C-channel receiversThe cut slat ends sleeve into C-channels mounted to the post or wall. This gives the installer flexibility to create custom slope angles.
033 x 3 square postsThe video discusses heavy-duty and light-duty square post options. The appropriate post depends on the mounting method, span, height and project requirements.
04Rear fastenersThe presenter explains that each slat end is secured through the back of the C-channel with two screws, keeping the primary face visually clean.
05Channel covers and capsFinishing accessories conceal gaps, fastener areas and open channel ends for a smoother transition between the slat, channel and post.
06Optional bottom channelA 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 runConfirm 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 plumbPosition 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-channelsMount 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 angleBring 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 slatMake 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 backOnce 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 risesCheck 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 channelsInstall 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.
