myPost, myRedwood, myFireGuard, and myAir Installation Manuals

Each Modern Yard fence system has its own installation manual, and all four share the same modular post platform underneath. myPost is the universal post system that the myRedwood composite, myFireGuard steel, and myAir aluminum slat infills mount into. The manuals and videos for every system, plus direct gate frame PDFs, are published on Modern Yard's installation guides page, so you can confirm the exact sequence, tools, and fasteners for the system you're building before you start.

Which manual covers which system?

Start by matching your system to its manual. The post system is shared, the infills differ, and each gate frame has a dedicated PDF.

System	Material	Install documentation	Gate frame PDF
myPost	Universal post	System guide + drawings	Base for all gates
myRedwood	Composite	Video + PDF manual	3.5ft and 6ft redwood
myFireGuard	Steel	Video + PDF manual	6ft FireGuard
myAir	Aluminum slat	Video + PDF manual	6ft Air aluminum

The full set of videos and PDF manuals is on the installation guides page, and dimensional sheets are on the technical drawings library.

How does the myPost universal post system work across all four?

myPost is the structural base, and it's why the four manuals follow the same logic. The Modern Yard universal post system supports multiple fence types within a single post, which reduces SKU complexity and means one post-setting process applies whether you're installing composite, steel, or aluminum infill.

The myPost sequence is the foundation every other manual builds on.

• Layout and spacing. Mark post centers per the technical drawing for your panel width. Consistent spacing is what keeps panels seated without field cutting.

• Post setting. Set posts in concrete to the depth specified in the drawing. The modular connectors handle flat ground, slopes, and corners.

• Infill seating. The interchangeable groove system accepts the composite, steel, or aluminum infill for your chosen system.

• Gate and hardware. The matching gate frame mounts to the post system, pre-drilled for the lock.

Because the post logic is identical across systems, a crew that learns myPost once can install any Modern Yard fence type from the same dimensional understanding.

What does each product manual cover?

Each system manual covers its own infill assembly on top of the shared myPost base. Here's the short version of what's specific to each.

myRedwood (composite). A wood-look composite that, in California where the good neighbor fence standard is most commonly referenced, qualifies as a good neighbor fence because both faces match. The manual covers board seating into the groove system and the matching gate frame (3.5ft redwood PDF, 6ft redwood PDF). The full system is on the wood-look composite fence page.

myFireGuard (steel). Fire-resistant steel panels, tested to ASTM E84 Class A by Intertek and listed on the CFSC Vendor List. Also a good neighbor fence in California, with matched faces. The manual covers steel panel seating and the 6ft FireGuard gate frame PDF.

myAir (aluminum slat). Open horizontal slat design for airflow and a modern look. myAir is not a good neighbor fence; its slats read similarly from both sides, but it's an open design rather than a full-privacy panel, so don't spec it where a privacy good neighbor fence is required. Gate frame is the 6ft Air aluminum PDF.

What tools and fasteners do the manuals call for?

Each manual lists the required tools and fasteners up front so you can stage the job. The exact fasteners come packaged with the system components, and the manual identifies placement.

• Tools. Post-hole digging equipment, level, measuring tape, drill or driver, and basic hand tools. The structural connection doesn't require on-site cutting.

• Fasteners. Supplied with the components; the manual shows placement for rails, infill, and gate hardware.

• Gate hardware. Aluminum hinges are packaged with the gate frame and installed on-site. The frame is pre-drilled for the sequential mechanical lock, so no on-site drilling is needed for the lock.

• Concrete. Sourced separately for post setting, per the depth in the drawing.

Before you start. Download the gate frame PDF that matches your exact size and configuration. Single and double gates have separate sheets, and the double-gate handle has its own document.

Where does the lock fit into the install sequence?

The lock mounts to the gate frame near the end of the sequence, and it's documented within each gate frame PDF rather than in a standalone video. The myLock-Combination is a battery-free 304 stainless steel sequential mechanical lock with Universal Fit, so it works on left or right opening gates without swapping parts. Because the gate frame is pre-drilled, the lock seats into the prepared holes without field drilling. Full specs are on the myLock-Combination product page.

The installation guides page carries the fence and gate PDF manuals and videos. It doesn't include a separate lock-only installation video, so use the gate frame PDF for the lock mounting step.

Pick your manual by system, then confirm dimensions

Match your fence system to its manual first, then read the myPost base sequence and the infill section together since every install starts with the post platform. Contractors should pull the technical drawings alongside the PDF to confirm post spacing before quoting. The whole set, including the gate frame PDFs for redwood, FireGuard, and Air, routes through the installation guides page, so you can verify tools, fasteners, and the step sequence for your exact system before the first post goes in.
