How is a louvre fence installed?
In three steps: fix the pre-drilled vertical U profiles to the posts; slide in the slats; drill through the U profile, rivet, and fit the top profile. The posts go in first.
What if the posts are not perfectly vertical?
The slats are made about 1 cm shorter than the ordered size, and the U profile covers 1.5–2 cm at each end, so they slide in easily. You drill through the hole in the U profile straight into the slat: the alignment is right whatever the post’s deviation.
Why does the panel come unassembled?
So that installation works on any site. The slats are about 1 cm shorter, and the U profile covers the difference at each end.
What kind of posts does the fence fit on?
On metal, concrete or brick posts. A louvre panel can also be fitted in a gate frame of at least 35 mm.
What is not included in the kit?
The posts, the labour, the gate frame and the gate hardware.
How are metal pickets installed?
On 30×20 mm rectangular tube, between metal posts or concrete or brick pillars.
