Depending on the Height of your slat wall and the number of slats you have, these factors will determine the slat
spacings required for your fence.

been screwed in place the spacers will be used to separate the slats from one to the next.
Note - It is important to maintain both parallel and level with in each bay. This will ensure a straight professional
looking fence.
This can be achieved by using a tape measure to check for “Parallel” from either the top of the channel or your

We do Not
recommend the

This may cause
capillary action and
cause corrosion to
