How to install Ekodeck castellated panels onto retaining wall?

Good Morning Everyone,

 

I am just after some help with the installation of the new Ekodeck Castellated Panels. We are having a pool installed in the grass area in the photos attached and I would like to screen the area out. What would be the best way to approach this for it to cover the concrete retaining wall and fence also. The height fits within the height that the panels come in but attaching it to the wall would need some sort of frame in front of it? I know in the installation guide it says not to attach it to a concrete wall. I have reached out to Ekodeck without any luck. 

 

I was thinking about maybe creating a timber frame for the panels to be screwed onto but I was after some expert advise as to what is best and the best way to build something like this.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Neil

Hello @Neil1984 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about installing Ekodeck castellated panels.

 

Let me tag @Neil1984 to make them aware of your question. These are all good questions, I believe Neil used hollow steel fence posts, they could possibly be the Australian Handyman Supplies 89 x 89mm x 3.0m Galvanised Steel Fence Post. I'm fairly confident that they used Self Tapping Metal Screws, but we'll need to wait for confirmation from Neil what size they used for the timber rails and what kind of baseplate was used for fixing the post the ground.

 

If you are building a similar project, please remember to post a photo update. I'm sure our members will be keen to see how you laid out your Ekodeck castellated panels.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
