Yes, However the slat fencing needs to be 1800mm 

high and no more than 10mm gaps between each slat.

For best results, use a drop saw, This will create a nice 
clean Square cut. 
A grinder is acceptable providing you use a thin 

metal cutting blade to reduce the risk of burning the 

powder-coating.

Yes, Generally we work on a standard 15mm gap 

between slats.  
Depending on the level of privacy you require you can 
either close or open the gap to meet your preferred 

gap size.
* Note, if this is for pool fencing refer to: building.

Yes, We have a 10 year Warranty on our products, If 

you are in a coastal zone then an increase of cleaning 

and maintenance will be required. 
We do not recommend the product to be in direct 
contact with salt water.

No, Currently this has not been tested for Balustrade 

purposes.

We have a range of fences that are suitable for 

balustrade applications for further information - contact 

[email protected]

You will need to use two posts for this, the slat 

channel system is required to be 
square to the slats, this can 
only be done with two posts 
side by side.

When the post caps are powder-coated they are hung 
up with a wire. 
When installing the caps orientate to hole to the side 

so it is not as visible, or alternatively use that hole to 

fix the post cap in-place with either a coloured rivet 

or screw.

Regular cleaning of your fence will be required to help 

prevent water spots from appearing. Hard water is 

corrosive to the powder-coating, therefore neglect 

will cause deterioration to your fence.
