FAQs
What are the dimensions of the panel?
The panel measures 1 meter in height and 2 meters in width (1m x 2m).
Is this product suitable for balconies?
Yes, it is suitable for balconies as a privacy screen, provided it can be securely fixed to the balcony railing or wall.
How do I clean the artificial leaves?
You can clean the leaves by rinsing them with a garden hose or wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Will the green colour fade in the sun?
The artificial leaves are UV resistant to help maintain their colour. However, prolonged, intense sun exposure over many years may eventually cause some fading.
Can I cut the panel to size?
While not specifically designed for cutting, the mesh backing can be trimmed carefully with scissors or a utility knife if minor adjustments are needed. Be aware that this may expose cut edges.
What fixings are recommended for installation?
UV-resistant cable ties are commonly recommended for easy installation. Screws with washers or brackets can also be used for a more permanent fixture.
Troubleshooting
Panel appears uneven or sagging
Check that the fixings are taut and evenly distributed. Adjust cable ties or screws to ensure the panel is securely and evenly supported across its entire surface.
Foliage looks dusty or dirty
Gently rinse the panel with a garden hose. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Panel is not providing adequate privacy
Ensure the panel is installed without large gaps. Consider overlapping panels slightly or adding additional support structures behind it for denser coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This panel is designed for straightforward installation. It can be easily attached to existing fences, walls, or structures using standard outdoor fixings. Common methods include using UV-resistant cable ties passed through the mesh backing and around fence posts or wires, or screw-fixed brackets for a more permanent fixture. Ensure the surface you are attaching it to is stable.
Compatibility: The panel is designed for use on outdoor structures such as wooden fences, metal railings, chain-link fences, and walls. It is compatible with most standard garden boundary systems.
Care: To maintain its appearance, periodically clear any accumulated debris like leaves or dust. A gentle rinse with a hose can refresh the foliage. While UV resistant, avoid prolonged direct contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the artificial leaves.
