Standard rule is 4 slat per foot in height. E.G 4’ high 16 slat required.

Yes, you can install Quickscreen in higher wind areas as posts and slat are made from a high-grade Structural aluminium approximately 40% stronger than your typical 6063 T5 Alloy. In very High or Hurricane prone areas you may need to adjust post centres to meet wind loads. Contact us for engineering details and your local council requirements.
Can Quickscreen be installed on an inclining section of land?
Yes, you can install Quickscreen on an inclining section of land. This is generally done by stepping the panels.If stepping make sure to always line one slat up the bottom slat on the higher panel with a slat on the lower panel to ensure the straight linear design . you can also cut the slat on an angle but not common as you lose the linear look. If very large incline may need to purchase additional spacers or use side frame sets for installation.

How to ensure longevity of surface finish?
It is important to regularly wash down the fence with water and at times mild detergent. Click here for cleaning guide. Important to understand that hard water (bore water) or sprinkler systems with chemicals added can have a damaging effect to powder coat finish. We strongly advise you do not use hard water on fence and recommend that you redirect your sprinklers away from the fence entirely. Failure to do so could void our warranty.
