Summer is synonymous with holidays, relaxation, poolside gatherings with friends… but especially with high temperatures<\/strong>! Under the summer sun, our PVC slats can sometimes be damaged. We are committed to offering you quality products, helping you install them, and also helping you maintain them so they provide lasting satisfaction<\/strong>. These protective actions, which you automatically adopt for other products like bringing in your garden furniture cushions when it rains or closing your awning arm when it’s windy, may be less obvious when it comes to your fence. However, they are just as important<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

In Case of High Heat:<\/h3>\n

As high temperatures are announced<\/strong> by M\u00e9t\u00e9o France, we strongly recommend removing the finishing cap from your privacy slats during the summer<\/strong>. The privacy you benefit from will not be affected. <\/p>\n

Indeed, the cap serves as a finish but also as a stopper. It will deform to allow heat to pass through, which could reach between 70\u00b0 and 80\u00b0 given the anticipated temperatures. If the caps are not removed, the PVC slats risk expanding and never returning to their original state. <\/p>\n

In Case of Strong Winds:<\/h3>\n

Furthermore, we also recommend, when strong winds are announced, removing every other slat<\/strong> to preserve your fence and prevent it from giving way.<\/p>\n

These protective actions, which you automatically adopt for other products like bringing in your garden furniture cushions when it rains or closing your awning arm when it’s windy, may be less obvious when it comes to your fence. However, they are just as important. <\/p>\n

Please do not hesitate to contact us<\/a> if you have any questions about our recommendations.<\/p>\n
