The rails should be approx. The bottom edge of the panels should be kept at least 50mm clear of ground level. The panels should be fixed to the rails with 4 No. sheradised or galvanised screw fixings approx. 40mm in length at approx. It is perfectly acceptable to pre-paint prior to taking on site.
Painting can be by brush, roller or spray.
Painting of both sides of the panel, whilst not essential, is recommended to ensure a balanced finish. Improved performance of the hoarding can be achieved by sealing the vertical joints with a non setting mastic. Additionally a plastic capping can be obtained which can be applied to the exposed top and end edges of the panels to protect them from water ingress. Other thicknesses upon negotiation.
