š ļø Make Fence Installation Easy
Installing a panel fence? Keeping the posts at the exact distance and perfectly vertical while the concrete sets is the hardest part.
This 3D printable Spacing & Alignment Jig is designed for standard 60x40mm (6x4cm) rectangular fence posts. It turns a difficult two-person job into a quick one-person task.
š” How it works
These brackets are designed to be screwed onto a wooden batten/lath or a metal profile. They act as a rigid template.
- Print 2 brackets.
- Screw them onto a wooden board (e.g., a roof batten) at the exact distance required for your fence panels (usually 250cm + mounting tolerance).
- Slide the brackets on the posts.
- Result: The jig holds the loose post at the perfect distance from the previous one and locks it in place, making it easy to level (plumb) and pour the concrete.
ā Key Features
- Fits standard 60x40mm posts.
- Maintains perfect spacing: No need to measure every single time.
- Vertical Alignment: Helps keep the posts upright and aligned with the fence line.
- Time Saver: Significantly speeds up the workflow.
šØļø Print Settings
Since this is a functional tool that will be under some stress and likely used outdoors:
- Material: PETG or ASA/ABS is recommended for durability (PLA+ is okay for a short time, but don't leave it in the hot sun too long).
- Walls/Perimeters: 3 to 4 walls for strength.
- Infill: 20-50% (Gyroid or Grid).
- Supports: No.
š© Hardware Needed
- Wood screws (to attach the bracket to your wooden batten).
- Wooden batten/lath.
