Advice wanted. Any shopfitters out there?

[gwaithcoed]

I have been asked by a friend to fit some sheets of slatwall in his shop.
I understand they come in 8 x 4 sheets.

What I would like to know is

a. Where do I put the screws, in the slot or in the main body?

b. Do I use screws and rawlplugs, or hammer drive fixings?

c. How many fixing per sheet should I use?

d. Or do I say I have a bad back and chicken out?

Alan.

a: screw in the slot and this will then get covered by the aluminium channel.

b: best to screw battens to the wall first, level and plumb these up to align with the slots in the sheet. The use screws to fix the sheets to the battens

c : as many as you want

d: no
