What you need to check to ensure your warranty is not voided:

  • The SmartSlat® paint finish as supplied must not be scratched, abraded, damaged in any way, or coated with any other paints or incompatible material. The use of touch up paints over the as supplied painted finish is not recommended.
  • Your GramLine® SmartSlat®must be regularly maintained.This means that it is hosed with water. We recommend this be done at regular intervals. Your fence must not be washed with pool, ground, or bore water.
