Shhhh…PalmSHIELD louvered screen has a secret prototype and we are seeking some input. Keep it under wraps.

PalmSHIELD louvered screens has created a Easy-Up design and prototype.  This new design allows some flexibility in setting the posts where the space between the post can vary without creating a gap between the louvered panel and post.  Our new design allows for field setting the post in concrete footings and then installing the panels afterward.

We want to know from you if this is a really good idea?  If you have installed our system or other louvered screen systems and struggled with setting posts, please share your thoughts on how important this new design change will be to you.

PalmSHIELD puts the installer at the top of our list.  We know you are in the field with limited means and varying field conditions.  Louvered screen systems are a work of beauty and customers expect perfection.  Our goal is to help our installers easily meet these expectations.   Just like our Gorilla hinges.

This hinge uses a half inch thick plate to mount to both the gate and gate post.  The Gorilla hinge has a slight offset on the hinge plates to allow the gate to slightly close past full close.  This intended design quirk was incorporated because we realize that not everything happens exactly like you want it to in the field.  Sometimes, the gate posts are set an eighth to a sixteenth of an inch out of square.  This is not noticeable at the post but a typical hinge would not allow the gate to come to a full close if the gate post was not set perfectly square.  We empathize with these field irregularities and believe it is our responsibility to find a solution to offer our customers some flexibility.

Look for our new product offering on our website or contact us via our website.  Say, “Hey, I want you to quote me your new Easy-Up design.”  That will get our attention.
