Kosny Timber Screen Installation Guide:
Transform your outdoor space with the natural beauty and privacy of Kosny Timber screens. This guide walks you through a straightforward installation process, whether you're mounting onto an existing structure or building your own frame.
Before You Begin:
Measure your space: Determine the total length and height of the area you want to screen. Remember, each Kosny Timber Screens Australia panel is 900mm wide. Calculate the number of panels needed, keeping in mind you can easily cut them to size.
Gather your tools:
Kosny Timber Screens
Sturdy structure (fence, wall, or frame)
Spirit level
Drill and long drill bit (to reach between slats)
4 x 50mm galvanized screws per screen
Helping hands (optional but recommended)
Installation:
Option 1: Existing Structure
Find your anchor point: Locate a sturdy fence, wall, or frame that can support the weight of the screens. Ensure it's level and able to handle weather conditions.
Align and level: Position the first screen panel against your chosen structure, aligning the top and bottom rails. Use a spirit level to ensure it's perfectly straight.
Secure it tight: Using the long drill bit, drill through the screen's top and bottom rails into the supporting structure.Use 2 x 50mm galvanized screws per rail (4 per screen) for a secure hold.
Repeat and connect: Continue attaching panels one by one, following steps 2 and 3. Each panel seamlessly connects to the next, creating a continuous screen.
Option 2: Build Your Own Frame
Frame it up: Construct a frame using 100mm x 100mm posts and 90mm x 45mm rails. Ensure the top and bottom rail heights match the screen's rails for direct attachment. Space posts no more than 2700mm (3 screens) apart for optimal support.
Follow Option 1: Once your frame is sturdy and level, proceed with steps 2-4 in "Option 1: Existing Structure" to attach the screens to your custom frame.
Once installed, sit back, relax, and enjoy a cold drink.
Pro Tips:
Pre-drill the screen rails to prevent splitting during installation.
Use stainless steel or galvanised screws for extra durability, especially outdoors.
Work with a partner for easier handling and alignment of larger screens.
