VERTICAL SLATS
SYSTEM
STEP 1 –
FITTING THE SIDE CHANNELS
STEP 2 –
INSTALL THE BOTTOM HORIZONTAL SLAT
STEP 3 –
INSTALL BOTTOM CHANNEL AND ‘SIDE’ VERTICAL SLATS
Our Vertical slat system is set out slightly differently to the standard horizontal slat bay.
The slat channel system need to be installed around the entire perimeter of each bay with an additional slat
running
horizontally underneath the bottom slat channel to provide support for the entire bay of vertical slats.
Fit the bottom slat flush with the bottom of the side channels. The purpose of this slat is to provide support for the
entire bay of vertical slats.
Once the bottom horizontal slat has been fitted the bottom channel can then be cut neatly between the side
channels, this is then placed on top and screwed to the bottom slat.
Now the two outside vertical slats can be cut to length, these need to be cut 25mm longer than the finished height
of the side channels. this will give the top channel something to be fitted to.
Once the two slats have been cut to length they can be fully inserted into the side channels and screwed in at the
bottom and also up the side. This will securely hold it in place.
The side channels need to be screwed with the tek screws to
the posts first. This needs to be cut to a length that will run
from the bottom of the slat wall to 50mm less than the finished
height of the post.
The 50 mm will be made up of the following:
- 39mm will allow for the top slat channel to be fitted
over the ends of the slats. (As shown in the image below)
- 10mm will be for the post cap to be fitted over the
post with out interfering with the slat bay.
