HOW TO INSTALL LATTE POLES

Screening - Latte poles are simple to install onto a solid frame (1.8 to 2.1m lengths must have a minimum of 2 fixing points for vertical applications, 3 for 3.6m lengths. Horizontal applications require 3 fixing points for 1.8 to 2.1m and 4 for 3.6m lengths. You can use galvanised nails or screws to fix these poles into rails. Using normal nails will introduce rust, which isn’t encouraged.

If nailing or screwing within 50 mm of the ends of the poles, it will require pre-drilling.

MAINTENANCE

Our latte poles are supplied natural and can be left to weather and grey to a natural patina over time.

Like all timber products, you can apply oils, stains or paint to change the appearance to suit many styles & applications. Regularly maintaining timber in this manner can extend the lifespan of the product.

Once you have cut the treated wood, it is not recommended that you use that end to make any ground contact. Timber or poles that have been cut or notched out should be resealed with clear/green enseal.
