Drilling or Routing
PVC products do not absorb moisture and can be installed at grade
Moisture
PVC products expand and contract with the change in temperature. Allow 1/8"
spacer per 18' feet at ends for expansion and contraction
Joints between pieces should be glued to eliminate joint separation
Expansions and Contraction

Spanning
PVC products must not be used in load-bearing applications but are allowed
to be used in spanned applications such as soffit and ceiling with suitable
thickness and support
Storage and Handling
Store on a flat and level surface
Should be handled similar to pine as it has a comparable density but more
flexible
Keep product free of dirt and debris at job site. If the products gets dirty use
warm water with detergent or soap to clean after installation.
Many clients install our privacy screens onto existing fences. This transforms tired fences and
creates eye-catching outdoor feature walls. Options: - you can hang smaller screens (i.e.
2’X4’) using chain attached directly to the screen and fencing - frame your screen with a
light coloured backdrop before attaching the frame to the fencing (with screws or onto
brackets) - install U-clips on the fencing directly, and install screens onto the clips (this
avoids drilling into the screen) Timber screws are the best for attaching our screens to
existing wood fencing and are readily available from any hardware store. To install, begin by
pre-drilling holes into your garden screen so that the screws are positioned centrally, thus
ensuring that the screw doesn’t damage the screen’s surface.
Wood Fencing
Many clients install our privacy screens onto existing brickwork to create a garden feature
wall or to extend above existing brickwork to create more privacy. To attach our privacy
screens onto a brick wall, simply screw them directly onto brickwork. Alternatively, you can
bolt fence post supports along the length of the brick wall and then attach the screens to
these supports with brackets, u-clips, or in a frame. This method is preferable if you would like
to extend the privacy screens higher than the existing brickwork to increase privacy. When
attaching screens to brickwork, always ensure that the wall is structurally sound to support the
screens.
Brickwork
PROJECT INSTALLATION
All of our privacy screens are perfect for use as a trellis to either train plants or espalier
trees. Simply follow the directions above based on whether you are attaching the screens to
brickwork or fencing. When attaching the screens, make sure that you leave a gap between
the surface and the screen so that plants can wrap around the back of the screen as they
grow. This can be achieved by using u-clips, which are easy to use and practically invisible.
Trellis
C O R E L A N D S C A P E P R O D U C T S
Delineate sitting or garden areas
Create privacy around the hot tub or similar
Add artistic appeal to any area
Drill the screens directly to the post (with brackets)
Frame the screen and attach the frame to the posts (this avoids drilling holes into your
privacy screen)
For Option 2:
Construct a frame to contain your screen. This frame can be 2, 3 or 4 sided,
depending on the supports provided by the posts. Screw the frame to the post and insert your
screen (for 2 and 3 sided frames). For a 4-sided frame, pre-drill 4 sets of holes where the
brackets will attach to the posts. Screw the brackets to the posts. Attach the frame to the
brackets using Timber screws.
Freestanding
All our screens are made of durable PVC, and are sturdy enough, at 10 mm thick, to make
them ideal candidates for a freestanding installation.
Recommended Uses:
To begin, mark out the location for your supporting posts, depending on whether you want the
screens installed vertically or horizontally. Then, dig holes for the posts. We recommend a
depth of at least a third of the height of the screen wall to ensure adequate support. Once
dug, stand your posts in the holes and pour in the ready mix or quick-set concrete. Don’t
completely fill the holes, make sure to leave enough space at the top so that once it has dried
the concrete can be covered with soil.
After pouring the concrete, use a spirit level to ensure that your posts are vertical. Check that
all posts are the same height and that they match the height and width of the screen. When
the concrete is set, cover it with soil.
Once your concrete has set and your posts are firmly in place, you have 2 options:
1.
2.
For Option 1:
Pre-drill 4 sets of holes where you would like your brackets to attach. Then
screw the brackets to the posts; there should be two brackets for each side of the screen.
Then, repeat this process by pre-drilling holes into the screen. Attach brackets to the rear of
the screen with two on each side, then attach the screen to the posts.

Amanda was born and raised on Vancouver Island and spent most of her
days in the Black Creek, just outside the Comox Valley. She fell in love with
the west coast lifestyle: "Every day here is a visual gift, from the old-growth
forests to the mist over the coast on a fall evening and the almost fantasylike world of our forest undergrowth". You can find Amanda in her old log
house with her two children, hubby, and their collection of rescue animals.
Running a fencing company has allowed Amanda to bring her art into her
business and incorporate her love for Canadiana art. She prides herself to
be able to create designs that people can identify with, mainly scenery that
means something to us. Her work brings awareness to the natural beauty
that exists in the world and our need to preserve it and respect its power.

These trellis privacy screens are not any ordinary lattice. These trellises are fence topper mixed with art to bring a unique feeling to your
outdoor space. Add some Canadiana with the Maple Leaf Trellis or go for a more Oriental design with our Ginko Trellis. Whatever the
choice is, you can be sure it will look great and feel unique.
