Tools Required

What you will need;

Tape measure

Spirit level

Cordless drill

Drill bits (attachments for your drill, one type for masonry/bricks, another for wood)

Wall plugs (plastic plugs that go into drilled holes in walls, helping screws grip securely)

Wood screws (stainless steel only)

Fence brackets or wooden battens (supports to attach panels to a wall or post)

Posts (wooden, wpc or metal supports for freestanding fences)

Saw

Safety glasses

Protective gloves

Mount Onto a Brick Wall

Step 1: Measuring

Using a tape measure, mark clearly on your brick wall where you’d like your fence panel to go.

Step 2: Drilling Holes

  • Wear your safety glasses.
  • Use your drill with a masonry drill bit (ask for this specifically when buying drill bits).
  • Carefully drill holes at your marked points.
  • Gently push wall plugs into the holes (tap gently with a hammer if needed).

Step 3: Attaching Brackets/Battens

  • Hold a bracket or batten against the wall, aligning it with the holes.
  • Using your drill (with a screwdriver attachment), slowly screw into the wall plugs until firmly attached. Check with a spirit level to ensure it’s straight.

Step 4: Attaching Fence Panels

Secure panel using screws through brackets into the fence panel.

Building Your Own Slatted Panel

This section provides a simple insight into how customers can build their own slatted boundary using our range of 44mm and 94mm slats.

Using Our 44mm or 94mm slats

Step 1: Planning Your Fence

  • Decide how high and long you want your fence.
  • Calculate the number of slats you’ll need (allowing small gaps, usually around 6-12mm).

Step 2: Setting Up Posts

  • Dig holes about 600mm deep where posts will go.
  • Place the posts in holes, making sure they’re straight with a spirit level.
  • Fill the holes with concrete mix, then let set overnight.

Step 2.1: Attaching To Brick

  • Hold a bracket or batten against the wall, aligning it with the holes.
  • Using your drill (with a screwdriver attachment), slowly screw into the wall plugs until firmly attached.
  • Check with a spirit level to ensure it’s straight.

Step 3: Attaching Support Battens

  • Screw vertical battens onto posts, about every 600mm along the fence length.

Step 4: Securing the Slats

  • Starting from the top, attach slats horizontally to battens using screws.
  • Use a small piece of wood (spacer) to keep gaps even between each slat.

Step 5: Finishing Off

Trim the ends of the slats neatly using a saw.
