HOW TO INSTALL A FENCE USING ONDULINE CLASSIC SHEETS?
ONDULINE® CLASSIC is the market leading bituminous corrugated roofing sheet, that has traditionally been used to cover the roofs of timber buildings, such as sheds, stables, agricultural and garden buildings. With it’s excellent durability, ONDULINE® CLASSIC is made from approximately 50% recycled cellulosic fibres, which are derived from wood giving the panels their mechanical strength that make them well suited as an aesthetic fence covering for existing fences and gates.
The Onduline material does not contain any asbestos, or harmful chemicals, and is free from metal so it will never rust!
Thanks to their lightweight (about 3.4 kg/m2) and their great mechanical flexibility, ONDULINE® CLASSIC sheets are easy to install. The corrugated aesthetic of the sheets has become a popular choice for fence panels and adds a stylish look to any garden or outdoor space.

Installation Steps: ONDULINE CLASSIC for fences and gates
Step 1: Ensure fixings have enough structure
ONDULINE® CLASSIC sheets require a continuous fixing structure of a minimum 30mm thick. This ensures adequate fixings strength and thickness to avoid the fixings protruding beyond the fence panel.
ONDULINE® UNIVERSAL SCREW fixings must always have a bite of a minimum 15mm into the fence panel.

Ensure the existing fence is in good, sturdy condition and suitable to fix to.
Ensure a kickboard is present of a minimum 200mm from ground level.
Step 3: Fix the sheets
- Hold the ONDULINE® CLASSIC sheet against the fence (where possible, the weight of the sheet should rest on the gravel board).
- Use four ONDULINE® UNIVERSAL screw fixings to pin the sheet in place temporarily as show in the picture.
- Make sure the sheet does not extend more than 50mm on top of the fence panel. If necessary, cut the sheets using a lubricated hand saw.
Step 4: Overlapping the sheets
Rest the second ONDULINE® CLASSIC sheet against the fence and use another four ONDULINE® UNIVERSAL fixings to pin the sheet in place temporarily as show in the picture.
Overlap the sheets by one corrugation.
Step 5: Fixing pattern
Fix the rest of the ONDULINE® fixings. All corrugations should be fixed at the top and bottom sections.
Every other corrugation should be fixed in between.
Note: Always fix the overlapping corrugation.
Step 6: Fixing the sheets
