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.
