Plan your Patavin project
Precisely measure the installation zone's boundary before aligning Patavin screens.
Design post layout with 6ft maximum spacing for load-bearing integrity.
Patavin delivers 44”/72” precision-engineered posts for zoned privacy optimization.

Anchor your Patavin posts
WOOD/COMPOSITE: Secure with 3/8" anchors (excluded) for structural integrity on these surfaces.
CONCRETE SLAB: Anchor installations require 3/8’’ concrete anchors (excluded).
IN GROUND : To anchor in ground :Excavate a hole with minimum dimensions of 4 ft. depth × 12 in. diameter ，reinforce the base with gravel compaction for enhanced load-bearing capacity. Pour high-strength concrete mix and allow it to cure for 72 hours . Securely mount posts using ½'' galvanized steel anchors ，ensuring vertical alignment within ±2° tolerance.
Offset posts by 1¼" from plank length to ensure proper rail channel engagement.

Install your boards
Determine the height and level of your first board by sliding a railblock in each rail and tighten at the desired height. If your surface has different levels or is sloped, simply readjust railblocks accordingly.
Insert a spacer in each rail between each board. HOFT’s innovative spacers act as nails to strenghten assembly and give you the perfect and constant distance between boards. No measuring, no hassles.
Slide section brackets on top board and insert both screws to solidify assembly. Then complete the look with the cap.
Anchor posts 1’’1/4 closer than the length of your chosen planks, so that boards insert into the rail.
