Fence Kit Quantity Guide
The first kit is the base. Alone, it doesn’t do much.
Each Fence Kit comes with the following:
- 4x Fence Channel
- 2x Plain Post
- Screws, parts and tools to install fence post to ground and attach fence channels to posts
By itself, it is enough to install only one (1) section. In this setup, two (2) of the included Fence Channels are optional and serve as extras.
One kit provides twice the coverage when connected to an existing post.
If you are terminating your fence to a wood or concrete post or a wall, then one (1) kit will be able to cover two (2) sections.
This scenario requires you to attach one of the fence channels included in the kit to the wall.
Each succeeding kit allows you to install two more sections.
If you do NOT have another post with structural integrity, you will need to purchase additional kits to install more than one section.
Each additional kit allows you to have two (2) more sections. And because your first kit was used as a base, you will always have extra fence channels to use for emergencies.
Depending on your layout (how many turns, if any), the number of extra fence channels will vary. However, in this example, after your second kit, you will have two (2) unused fence channels.

When installing our posts on any type of flooring (e.g., composite wood) and it is too thin, you will need to purchase longer screws or anchors elsewhere in order for the products to be mounted properly on the inner floor.
We’ll provide all the fasteners you’ll need, including screws for attaching the posts to wood and plastic, as well as anchors for cement and masonry. The installation process will be easiest with a handheld power drill or hammer drill, and a set of screwdriver bits — but any set of screwdrivers will work in a pinch.
Most importantly, you’ll want to make sure you choose a post height that’s the right size for your installation scenario. If in doubt, it’s best to err taller, because you can always cut down the rail to fit.
Absolutely! All our kits come powder-coated with a 5-layer black finish that’s made to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. This protective layer defends against flaking, chipping, scratches, and color deterioration. Outdoor paint of any color will adhere to the protective layer — in fact, weather-resistant paint can even add an additional layer of defense against the elements, while customizing your rails to look exactly the way you want.
Our railing kits come with the necessary drill bits and wedge anchors to secure the posts onto any surface, be it wood, concrete, or brick. If you are planning on installing the posts on harder surfaces like granite, you will need a diamond drill bit (5/16" x 3.5")—which provide for free. Send us a message if you need one.
To make the installation process seamless, we’ve also included a depth-measuring pencil, washers, and a hex nut driver.

Cleaning your kits is easy! Our 5-layer weather-resistant coating already protects against most stains, and dirt is easy to clean off. Just wet a non-abrasive or microfiber cleaning cloth with water, and wipe the kits down to clear away any dust.
All our rail kits are designed to be easy to install in an hour or less. As long as you’re comfortable with using simple power tools, you should be able to handle the job without any special assistance. In fact, more than 3,000 happy customers say their railings were remarkably fast and easy to install!
