Product Usage Instructions
Measurement:
Measure the area of the fence where you want to install the privacy slats. Measure from the bottom of the channel to the top of the channel for accurate dimensions. Cut the pickets 1/4 shorter than the measured length to allow for expansion.
Cutting and Installation:
Use a miter saw or band saw to cut the panels, extender clips, and locks to size. Snap the panels onto the fence by prying open the top and aligning with the picket. Ensure a secure fit all the way down.
Completing Installation:
Continue snapping on the privacy picket panels until the entire fence is covered. For permanent privacy, use the Hurricane U-Lock at the back of the panels. The U-Locks can be easily removed or added based on your privacy preferences.
Installation
Our aluminum fence slats can be used for either 100% privacy or as a louver in order to guide air into your fenced-in area.
Tools that will be needed to cut and install the privacy panels:
- Miter saw or other kind of band saw.
- If using a miter saw, make sure to reverse the blade. This will ensure you give a smooth cut and not chip the PVC.
- Rubber mallet to tap with.
- Measure the area of the fence that you would like the privacy picket panels to cover (all manufacturers vary) so this is very important to measure the length of your pickets. Measure from the bottom of your channel to the top of your bottom channel – This will give you the dimensions to start cutting your pickets. We recommend using your measurement and then cutting 1/4″ shorter, allowing for expansion.
- Cut the panels, extender clips and lock to size and start snapping them onto the fence. Take your fingers and pry open the top of the privacy panels. Line up with the picket and simply snap on. Make sure it is secured all the way down.
- Continue to snap on all privacy picket panels until the entire fence is completed. If you want your fence to stay private at all times, use the Hurricane U-Lock to snap on the back of the privacy panels. The U-Locks can be removed or put on at any time, depending on the level of privacy you want or if you desire to have them open for a breeze or view.
