Installation
These basic step-by-step installation instructions are suitable for AMX-T & AMX-SP materials.
AMX-XP may require a customized approach but the general principals are similar.
Installation
Clear vegetation along the fence line and work area.
Mark out the Animex fence line.
Below Ground: Excavate trench. Ensure the trench is level and clear of large clumps or rocks. Above Ground: Clear Ground. Ensure the ground is level and clear of large clumps or rocks.
Free-Standing: Lay out posts and roll out Animex barrier (Fold bottom lip if required).
Attached to existing fences: Roll out Animex barrier along fence (Fold bottom lip if required).
Install posts at the back of the trench using manual or machine powered post driver
(Install horizontal wire if required and secure to end braces).
Place the Animex fence material into the trench with the lips facing towards the area that
animals will encounter the fence.
Fasten the Animex to straining wire, posts or existing fence starting at the top and work down.
When attaching rolls overlap them following details on installation drawings. A minimum
of 4 ties should be used on any joins in the fence.
Back fill the trench. Ensure the backfill is compact to eliminate gaps for animals to crawl
through. Do the same on the back side of the fence.
Fasten the top lips and install any additional features such as one-way escapes or pitfall traps
(if required).
