QUICKSCREEN PLUS DESIGN GUIDE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Can you cut down the frames and slat? A: Yes, the product is made from aluminum so easy to cut. All you require is a drop saw with an aluminum cutting blade. ›› Quick screen plus is so quick and easy to assemble compared to timber. Once posts installed would work on approx. 5 minutes per section ›› Is generally more cost effective than timber once you take into consideration all factors including maintenance and labor.
