Installation, Fasteners, and Warranty

Do I need special tools to install Dimensions Lattice?

Conventional tools can be used with Dimensions for cutting, drilling, and fastening. For your safety remember to wear protective clothing and safety glasses.

Does Dimensions Lattice require gapping?

Loosen attaching screws and ensure enough space is allowed for expansion and contraction.

Can Dimensions lattice be installed lying flat?

Dimensions lattice is not recommended for applications in which it will lie flat such as the overhead panels on an arbor or pergola.  It should be hung upright and attached to a self-supporting structure or frame.  Refer to the installation instructions for more information.
