If the slope is longer than the panel length, lower panels must also be toed in or attached to the upper panel, or anchored using another appropriate method.

Before opening the sections, drill holes where the tendons are to be located. Thread the tendons through the holes and washers or holes in batten strips at the bottom of the lowest panel. Tie off the lower end of the tendon. Stretch the section, being careful the tendons stay in the holes.

Position the sections and then tie the tendons to a supporting structure above the crest of the slope. This could be a grade beam or other structure designed to support loads. Instead of a structures, the tendons could be tied to earth anchors installed beyond the crest of the slope.

In order to avoid stress concentrations, a large number of light anchors are preferable to a smaller number of heavy anchors. Use of large washers or batten strips helps relieve point stresses where the anchors are attached.
