Add warmth and privacy to your yard this year with the Slipfence Horizontal Fence system. This Aluminum Channel Kit includes 2 (two) channels needed to build one 7ft. high fence panel. This kit combined with the Slipfence Post Kit, SF2-PK310 or SF2-PK312, provides a strong and long-lasting framework for your horizontal fence project. Attach these two channels to Slipfence Aluminum posts using the silver Self Drilling screws included, then slip in 15 pcs. of regular 1 in. thick deck boards, (called 5/4 deck boards), sold separately into these channels. If 5/4" deck boards are not available in your region, search Slipfence SF2-IHCK6 that uses 2 x 4 lumber. The result is a warm, fully private, contemporary, horizontal wood fence that has the strength and endurance of an aluminum fence with the warmth and privacy of a wood fence. This system requires Slipfence Aluminum posts and a Slipfence pair of Cap Rails, either one for the bottom and one for the top of each panel, or as recommended, one just for the top of each panel reducing the possibility of rot. Search SF2-PK3010 or SF2-PK312 for posts. Search SF2-HCR84 for Cap Rails. Once your Slipfence horizontal fence system is installed, the wood will appear too high for the channels. Please allow approximately 4-6 weeks for the wood to shrink and settle down to approximately 1" above the tops of the two side channels and then cut your cap rail to size and slip it onto the top of each panel and fasten with 2 black screws included.

The inside dimension is 1-1/8" wide. This will hold a 5/4"x6" deck board.
Hi Spencer, for a 7 foot tall fence- we only supply the SF2-HCK07 which uses a typical 5/4" (actual 1") deck board. Some customers have used a rough cut fence board which is typically 7/8" thick. Anything thinner will warp and crack quickly because of the 6 foot span between posts. Hope this helps. Thank you
Yes you can create a semi-private fence. Level and fasten the bottom board. Use a temporary spacer for your desired gap (1/8"-3"), some customers have used a pencil, others have used scrap pieces of wood. Please your spacer at both ends, slide the next board in place: level and fasten both ends. Some boards will require you to pre-drill holes in the channel. Repeat the steps (complete 4-5 rows per section, start next section). Visit our website and view the Horizontal Installation video for tips and tricks.
Thanks for the great question. When you are fastening the channels to the post you would leave a 1" to 1-1/2" space at the bottom to allow for air flow and water run off. The last horizontal board installed sits proud of the channel by 1" to 1-1/2". This equates to a fence height of 6'11"- 7'. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the question: The inside channel width 1-1/8 in. to accommodate a 5/4" x6" deck board with an actual thickness of 1 inch. Please visit our website for installation details and a short video. ww.slipfence.com
