Package Contents

Verify that all parts are present before beginning assembly. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support.

• Privacy Screen Panels (Composed of three vertical segments)
• Support Feet

Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps for proper assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat, and soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Assemble Panels: The privacy screen consists of multiple vertical segments. Connect these segments using the provided hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) as indicated in the diagram. Ensure all connections are firm but do not overtighten initially.
3. Attach Support Feet: Secure the support feet to the bottom of the assembled screen panels using the designated hardware. Ensure the feet are oriented correctly for maximum stability.
4. Position the Screen: With assistance, carefully lift and move the assembled screen to its desired location.
5. Secure to Ground (Recommended): For enhanced stability, especially on soft ground or in areas prone to wind, use the provided expansion screws to fix the support feet to the ground. Drill appropriate pilot holes if necessary for your surface type.
6. Final Tightening: Once the screen is in its final position and secured, tighten all bolts and screws firmly.

Operating and Usage

Your Outsunny Metal Outdoor Privacy Screen offers versatile functionality:

• Space Divider: Use the screen to define areas within your outdoor space, such as separating a dining area from a lounge area, or creating a more intimate corner on a large patio.
• Decorative Element: The modern slatted design adds a contemporary touch to any outdoor setting.
• Plant Trellis: The hollow design provides ample gaps for climbing plants like ivy or vines to grow, transforming the screen into a living green wall.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your privacy screen:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the protective paint.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Rust Prevention: The screen is constructed from alloy steel with protective paint to resist rust and water damage. However, regular cleaning and prompt attention to any scratches or chips in the paint can further prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

• Screen Wobbles: If the screen feels unstable, ensure all assembly hardware is fully tightened. If placed on soft ground, verify that the expansion screws are properly installed and secured. Consider additional anchoring if placed in a high-wind area.
• Color Discrepancy: Product colors may vary slightly due to manufacturing processes or screen display differences. Refer to product images for general color representation.
• Lack of Full Privacy: This screen features a slatted design and is intended for decorative use and partial space separation. It is designed to be see-through, not to provide complete visual blockage. For increased privacy, consider growing dense climbing plants on the trellis or adding a privacy fabric (not included).
