FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What is the best method to cut aluminium?

For the best results, use a drop saw with an aluminium cutting blade. This will create a clean, square cut. 

A grinder is acceptable, provided you use a thin metal cutting blade to reduce the risk of burning the 

powdercoat.

Can this be installed in coastal areas?

Yes, we have a 5 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.

What do I do if I have hard water?

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.

Can this be used for a balustrade?

No, currently, this has not been tested for balustrade purposes.

How do I set up my posts around angles?

You will need two posts for this. The channel system is required to be square to the posts and slats. This 

can only be done with two posts side by side.
