How to Install a Kit Occultation Composite Grillage Rigide

The installation of a kit occultation composite grillage rigide (rigid composite screening fence) is an excellent way to improve privacy, security, and aesthetics in residential or commercial spaces. These durable fences are easy to install with the right tools and preparation. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a successful installation.

Materials and Tools Required  

Before beginning, gather the necessary materials and tools. The kit typically includes composite slats, rigid mesh panels, posts, and mounting hardware. Additional tools you may need include a spirit level, measuring tape, post-hole digger, screwdriver or drill, stakes, string, concrete mix, and safety equipment such as gloves and goggles.

 

Step 1: Plan the Layout  

Start by marking the area where the grillage rigide will be installed. Use stakes and string to define a straight line for the fence. Measure the space accurately and ensure it matches the dimensions of the panels in the kit. This planning phase is critical for smooth installation and minimizing adjustments.

 

Step 2: Prepare the Ground and Install the Posts 

Dig holes for the fence posts along the marked line. The holes should be deep enough to ensure stability, usually about one-third the height of the post. Position the posts upright and pour concrete into the holes to secure them. Use a spirit level to make sure the posts are perfectly vertical. Allow the concrete to set for 24–48 hours before proceeding.

 

Step 3: Attach the Rigid Mesh Panels 

Once the posts are firmly set, attach the rigid mesh panels to the posts using the mounting brackets and screws provided in the kit. Ensure the panels are level and tightly secured to prevent movement. Leave a small gap between panels to allow for slight adjustments or expansion due to environmental conditions.

 

Step 4: Insert the Composite Slats  

Slide the composite slats vertically into the rigid mesh panels, filling each section to create the desired level of privacy and visual appeal. The composite slats should fit snugly, ensuring a clean and polished finish.

 

Step 5: Final Inspection 

Once all panels and slats are installed, inspect the entire fence for alignment and stability. Tighten any loose screws and make adjustments as needed. Clean the area and enjoy the enhanced privacy and aesthetic appeal of your newly installed grillage rigide.

 

By following these steps, you can achieve a professional-quality installation that combines functionality, durability, and style.
