How to fix merabu slats to square steel posts?
Hi I have often read this forum and gained many helpful hints so a big thanks!
I now have my own question, I need to attach merabu slats (horizontally) to square steel posts 50x50, For a slat fence.
Am i best to bolt timber batterns to the posts and then screw the merabu into them? any other options?
Also do i need to pre-drill each slat?
Thanks in advance.

I would Pre drill every slat and use a gal screw, metal tip obviously, if you ask a the bolt shops the best ones are called a wing-tek, made by buildex
