Can you cut Matrix fence extensions?

[Wattsie]

I want to use your decorative Matrix Fence extensions to give us some privacy however I can only see 2 sizes 1800 and 2400-2410 lengths. My Colorbond  fence panels are only 2370 long, can I cut them down and if I did how would it effect the side strength and what could I do to fix that.

Hello @Wattsie

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about the Matrix fence extensions.

If you are referring to the Matrix 2400 x 600mm Charcoal Rainforest Fence Extension, there should be no issue in cutting down the sides. The fence extension comes with a steel frame and is technically holding the Matrix panel in place. So it is perfectly alright to trim the fence panel to the size that you need. 

Here is a handy step-by-step video:

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
