FACE FIXING FOR VISTA SCREENS ON BRICK WALLS

Vista screens can be fixed on the face of posts or in between, this will affect the post position so will need be decided before hand.

Step 1

Assess how level the wall is. You may require packers to level the posts.

Step 2 

Drill a hole to accept the plug. Use the appropriate drill bit for the fixing you are using.

Avoid fixing into the top course of bricks.

The condition/strength of the wall dictates the strength and longevity of the fixing.

Step 3

Fix the posts using your chosen fixings.

We recommend a minimum of 600mm attached to the wall

Step 4 

Fix the panel which will give the line & position of subsequent posts & panels.

Step 5 

Repeat steps 2-4.

Step 6 

Screw panels into posts:

OPTIONS:

PANELS ON THE FACE OF POSTS

Screw panels into posts using 4.5mm x 50mm steel screws (minimum of 3 per side).

Ensure the top of each panel is level.

Additional panels meet over the centre post, with the first and last sitting flush at the ends.

Screw fixing strips to the inside of posts, set back by the thickness of the panel.
