Putting It All Together: How to Assemble our Products

How the panels are attached together is a common question I'm asked so here's a quick blog to give you my top tips.

 

Firstly, the panels I ship out are flat-pack and without fixings, I leave this to customers to decide how they would like to put them together.

 

There are two main ways to assemble the panels into a run, each with their own pros and cons:-

 

Cable Ties

Using 300-350mm cable ties is the easiest way to assemble these panels into a run or enclosure - they're durable, simple to use, strong enough for most uses and cost very little to purchase.

 

Screws

These are definitely the more robust method and results in a more sturdy construction but they can be more work (requiring pilot holes) and slightly more expensive.

I'd recommend 55mm screws for assembly, similar to these ones from Toolstation:-

 Remember you'll need guide holes when using screws, roughly just slightly smaller than the screw thickness you're using.

 

I hope this helps and I'll be sure to post some more top tips.

 

Thanks everyone!
