Fastening Screws

 

Steel 12 x 20mm or Timber 12 x 25/30mm 
are most commonly used.  Experience indicates 
that a screw with a galvanized coating of 
approximately 40 microns with a neoprene washer 
is sufficient. 
Screw spacings @150mm

–200mm.  If screws are 

to be exposed to higher than expected corrosion 
levels i.e. foundation or gutter areas, a longer 
life fastener should be considered.  If in doubt, 
please check with your Lockstrip supplier.  
Note:  Screw spacing may reduce for very large 
covers or in high wind area. 
 

 
 

Positioning Base Profiles

 

Typically the Lockstrip system is located around the perimeter 
edge of the cover being held, however it may also be used for 
joining covers on rafters, top rails etc.  Using the correct screws 
fix the Lockstrip in a continuous strip to a structural beam or rail* 
with rounded edge facing toward film.  Take care to align the 
profile grooves at any joins & also to keep groove clear of dirt & 
debris. 
Note:  If fixing Lockstrip to a galvanized steel rail ensure a barrier 
membrane is provided to prevent electrolysis.  The Lockstrip base 
should overlap any structural joints.  Lockstrip should not be used 
to form gutters or be fixed in a position where water can pond.
