Panels

PANELS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect” clips pre-installed on both
sides of the panels. One side is pointing up and the other side is pointing down.

UNIVERSAL CORNER POSTS come from the factory with the “Quick Connect”
clips pre-installed on 3 sides. One side is pointing down, and 2 adjacent sides are
pointing up.

Slide connections together, and press fi rmly in place. Do not use hammer to try

Corner Post Tips:

• Align the “Quick Connect” clips on the fi rst panel of a run so both sides point UP.
This will allow the Corner Post to be dropped onto one side, and the adjacent
panels to also be dropped on. Then the rest of the panels in the run can be easily
dropped onto each other.

• For 2 ways, remove one set of clips by loosening the set screw, and slide up and
out, through the channel. Snap in 2 Post Trim Strips to fi nish 2 open sides.

• For 3-ways, snap in Post Trim Strip to fi nish 4th side.

• For 4-ways, install the clips on the 4th side facing up, so the panel can be
dropped on.

Please contact your Global Contract Service Representative at 416-739-5000 for
any questions or concerns.
