FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a level, measuring tape, drill, screwdriver, and possibly a saw if you need to cut the slats to size. A post-hole digger or auger may also be required for post installation.

Can I paint the composite fence slats?

It is generally not recommended to paint composite materials. Painting may not adhere well and could void the warranty. The dark grey color is designed to be aesthetically pleasing without the need for painting.

How long will the fence last?

With proper installation and care, the Klikstrom Neva Dark Grey Composite Fence Slats can last for many years, often exceeding 20 years. The exact lifespan depends on environmental factors.

Are the slats environmentally friendly?

Yes, composite materials often incorporate recycled content, making them an eco-conscious choice compared to traditional wood fences.

What is the warranty on the fence slats?

Warranty information can be found on the product packaging or the manufacturer's website. Please check these resources for detailed warranty information.

How do I cut the composite slats to size?

You can cut the composite slats using a saw with a fine-tooth blade. Be sure to measure accurately and wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection.

Can I use these slats with different brand posts?

No, these slats are only compatible with the Klikstrom Neva fence posts.

How do I remove scratches from the slats?

Minor scratches can sometimes be minimized by gently rubbing the area with a fine-grit sandpaper. Deeper scratches may require the replacement of the affected slat.

Troubleshooting

Slats are difficult to insert into the posts.

Ensure the posts are properly aligned and that there is no debris blocking the slots. Lubricating the edges of the slats with soapy water can help.

Fence appears unstable after installation.

Check the stability of the fence posts. Ensure they are properly secured in the ground. Tighten any screws or clips holding the slats.

Color fading over time.

This is normal. To minimize fading, consider applying a UV protectant specifically designed for composite materials. Ensure the fence receives as much shade as possible.

Slats are warped.

Check the ground level and adjust the posts. Make sure the slats are properly inserted into the posts. Composite material can warp if exposed to extreme heat or improperly installed; if the warping is severe, replace the affected slats.

Presence of mold or mildew.

Clean the affected areas with a solution of water and mild soap. Rinse well and allow the area to dry completely. Ensure adequate ventilation around the fence to prevent future mold growth.
