Hi, how was the slat divider constructed?

10 years ago

What size lumber did you use for the slats? What are the slats made of? What is the spacing of the slats? And spacing of posts? Thank you!

Hi, I hope I can answer all your questions: the lumber is 1x2, I specified fir but I can't remember if it got changed, spacing of the slats is 1", and the wall is 11' so divided the stainless steel posts evenly across the span. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much! It looks like holes were drilled through the 1x2's and a stainless steel rod goes through them. How are the 1x2's suspended in place? How thick are the rods? And do you know if there is any signs of warping of the wood?

You are correct, the wood was pre drilled. I just don't know about how they are attached. The rods are 3/8" dia. No signs of warping...installed summer of 2012.
