Hi all
I'm replacing two 6x6 panels in a wind-struck fence.
I can't really use the normal U-shape panel clips, because it would be extremely difficult to raise a panel high enough to slot down into the gap between two posts.
So I've been looking at these:
However I can't for the life of me work out how to fix them [properly]. (Can't google any website that shows them in use, and the guys at Wickes didn't know either.)
There is a big "lip" with a hole in, presumably so that you can get your screwdriver through the hole in order to fix the clip to the post. (You can't see them in the pic, but there's a screwhole lined up with that hole, and there are two screwholes in the small lip at the back, in that picture.)
But why is that lip (with the hole) needed at all? The only way I can imagine to use these, would mean that the lip sticks out proud from the post - uh?
If anyone can point me at a diagram somewhere that shows how they're used I'd be very grateful.
Thanks John
