Usage Features
- Assembly Process:
- Step 1: Inspect Parts: Check inside larger pieces for other packed materials.
- Step 2: Lay Out Materials: Organize all components as listed above.
- Step 3: Assemble First Panel:
- Slide slats (Wide, Square, Thin) into the routed holes of an End Post.
- Slide the Middle Post over the slats, positioning it in the middle.
- Slide a second End Post over the slats, ensuring all slats are pushed tightly against the back wall of the posts.
- Slide the Bottom Rail over the post bottoms, aligning pre-drilled holes. Secure with three 3/4" self-drilling steel screws.
- Slide the Top Rail over the post tops, aligning pre-drilled holes. Secure with three 3/4" self-drilling steel screws.
- Turn the panel over and drive six additional 3/4" self-drilling steel screws through the pre-drilled holes in the top and bottom rails.
- Insert two Rail End Caps into the ends of the rails.
- Step 4: Assemble Second Panel: Repeat Steps 2-3 for the second panel.
- Installation in the Ground:
- Standard Installation (Step 5.1): Move the screen to its final location and attempt to push it into the ground, ensuring it is level. Two people are highly recommended for this step.
- Installation in Hard Ground (Step 5.2): If the panel cannot be pushed, loosen the top 6" of ground with a claw hammer, add water to the loosened soil, and gently hammer each post into the ground using a block of wood to protect the post.
- Optional for Hard Ground / Multiple Panels (Step 5.3): For very hard ground or multiple installations, use a 1 1/2" diameter auger bit (e.g., for planting tulips) to drill 12" to 16" deep holes. Fill the holes with water, then push the panel posts into the holes.
- Connecting the Panels (Step 6.1):
- Corner Application: Install Joiner Clips (I) to connect panels at a corner.
- Straight Line Application: Install Joiner Clips (I) to connect panels in a straight line.
