FAQs

What is the exact width of the Rowlinson Gresty Screen?

The Rowlinson Gresty Screen has a metric width of 1.80 meters, which is approximately 5 feet 11 inches, slightly less than a traditional 6ft wide panel.

Does the screen come with posts and fixings?

No, the screen is supplied as the panel itself. You will need to purchase suitable fence posts and fixings separately based on your installation requirements.

How long does the pressure treatment last?

The pressure treatment provides protection against rot and extends the longevity of the timber. Rowlinson offers a 15-year guarantee on these panels, indicating a high level of durability.

Can I paint or stain the Gresty Screen?

Yes, while the screen has a natural finish, you can paint or stain it to match your garden's colour scheme. Ensure the timber is clean and dry before application, and use products suitable for exterior wood.

Is this panel suitable for very windy areas?

The heavy-duty frame provides good stability. However, for extremely windy locations, ensuring posts are deeply set and securely anchored, and potentially using additional bracing, is recommended.

What is the warranty period?

The Rowlinson Gresty Screen comes with a 15-year guarantee against rot.

Troubleshooting

Panel wobbles or feels unstable

Ensure fence posts are securely installed and plumb. Check that the screen is properly fixed to the posts with adequate fixings and that post spacing matches the panel width.

Wood appears to be discolouring or fading

This can be a natural process for timber exposed to UV rays. Consider applying a garden wood preservative or sealant with UV protection to restore appearance and provide further protection.

Fixings are loosening over time

Periodically check all screws, brackets, or nails used to attach the panel to the posts. Tighten any loose fixings to maintain stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select the desired position for your screen.
  2. Install Posts: Securely fix appropriate fence posts into the ground, ensuring they are level and at the correct spacing for the 1.80m width of the screen.
  3. Attach Screen: Using suitable fixings (e.g., screws or brackets), attach the Rowlinson Gresty Screen to the fence posts. Ensure it is plumb and securely fastened.
  4. Consider Ground Clearance: Leave a small gap between the bottom of the screen and the ground to prevent moisture absorption.

Compatibility:

The Rowlinson Gresty Screen is designed to be compatible with standard fence post systems and fixings. While it has a metric width, it can be integrated into existing fencing lines with minor adjustments to post spacing. It is recommended to use compatible pressure-treated timber posts for maximum longevity.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the screen periodically with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Inspect fixings annually and tighten if necessary. Check for any signs of wear or damage and address promptly.
  • Treatment: While pressure treated for protection, occasional application of a suitable garden wood preservative or sealant can further enhance its lifespan and appearance, especially in harsh climates.
