Aluminium FAQ’s

  1. I am trying to order my slats/posts/others in custom colours but the payment is not going through.

The minimum order for any custom colour is $300 (per colour). The custom colour must be the same for all products to the minimum value of $300 This means you can mix and match different products, but the custom colours of all products purchased is a minimum of $300 (per colour). You may purchase, Slats, posts and baseplates, for example, in Ironstone but if the total does not add up to $300 your purchase won’t go through. This only applies to custom colours. There are no minimum requirements for powder-coated or timber colours.

  1. What lengths the slats can be before they require slat support?

There is no general guideline for setting up a screening or gate and when to set up slat support, each structure can be customised to your preference and design. Our technicians suggest a good rule of thumb of adding slat support to any 2m wide structure and adding a post to any 3m or larger structure. So, if your structure is wider than 3m we do suggest separating it into multiple structures for a sturdier finish.
