Product Information
Full details
This True Products Fixing Kit in Black is designed for anyone looking to securely and permanently install privacy screening, trellis, or netting. Its key benefit is providing a clean, tidy, and professional finish that prevents sagging and enhances durability. A potential caveat is that for the most secure and permanent installation, dedicated fixing kits are recommended, and this kit is designed to be used with such recommendations.

Troubleshooting
Screening is still sagging.
Ensure mounting plates are spaced closely enough (recommended 50-70 cm apart) and that wires are pulled taut during installation. Consider adding more fixing points.
Wires are too short for the installation.
The provided wires are 15cm each. For installations requiring longer ties, consider using alternative weather-resistant ties or ropes in conjunction with the mounting plates.
Plates are not holding securely.
Make sure the wire is properly threaded through the plate and creating a secure knot or loop. Ensure the support structure is firm and able to withstand tension.
Color mismatch with existing screen.
This kit is black. For different color matches, other True Products fixing kits may be available, or consider neutral-colored alternatives if aesthetics are critical.
Pros and Cons

- Offers a secure and permanent installation solution.
- Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Thread the plastic-coated wire through the holes of a mounting plate.
- Position the plate against the support structure (e.g., fence post, railing) and the screening material.
- Wrap the wire around the support structure and through the screening as needed.
- Secure the wire by threading it back through the plate in a loop, creating tension.
- Repeat this process along the length of the screening, spacing plates approximately 50-70 cm apart for optimal support.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for use with PVC Bamboo Screening but compatible with any screening, trellis, or netting.
- Ideal for securing materials to fences, railings, or other sturdy support structures.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check wire tension and plate security, especially after strong winds or significant weather changes.
