Step-by-Step DIY Instructions
- Plan Your Layout
- Measure and mark the fence line with chalk or string.
- Determine spigot positions, leaving 100mm–200mm from the edge of each glass panel and maintaining even spacing between spigots.
- Mark Spigot Positions
- Place base plate spigots along the marked line. Use a marker to outline the holes for each base plate.
- Drill Holes for Spigots
- Use a drill with a masonry or concrete bit to make holes at the marked positions.
- Ensure the holes are clean and debris-free for secure mounting.
- Secure the Spigots
- Align the spigots with the drilled holes and insert the mounting bolts.
- Tighten bolts with a spanner, ensuring the spigots are level.
- Insert Rubber Gaskets
- Fit rubber gaskets into the spigot clamps to protect the glass from damage.
- Install the Glass Panels
- Use suction cups to lift and position each glass panel into the spigot clamps.
- Ensure the panels are level and adjust as needed before tightening the clamps securely.
- Ensure Proper Panel Spacing
- Leave a gap of 5mm–10mm between glass panels for thermal expansion and aesthetic consistency.
- Apply Silicone Sealant
- For additional stability, apply clear silicone sealant between glass panels to create a seamless, weather-resistant finish.
- Install Gates (Optional)
- If installing a gate, ensure it is self-closing and self-latching to meet safety standards.
- Perform Final Checks
- Inspect the alignment and stability of the glass panels and spigots.
- Ensure compliance with local safety regulations.
