WWilts Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) Slatted screen to be erected around patio. 44mm slats with 16mm gaps to form privacy screen. Surface of patio is concrete patio slabs. Thinking of 4x4 fence posts but need to fix them to the patio. Slatted panels will be 2 x 1800mm (3.6m in one direction) then at right angles 2 x 1800mm. (3.6m at right angles to first). Main challenge is withstanding the occasioinal storm. What would work? Edited June 17 by WWilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It really depends how the patio slabs are fixed down and on what sub base, I would worry about wind,s pulling the fence/slab away from the ground (which is your question, I get that). The screen is slatted so not a complete sail but still will catch some “air”. If you believe the slabs are fixed well enough then metal post feet bolted to the slab will be sufficient. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222366660700?chn=ps&_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&var=523080564585 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) I would be drilling 300 to 500mm odd deep to resist force, and resin fix threaded bar through the various foundation sub layers as best I could! Edited June 17 by Andehh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
