This frame is designed specifically for our communication boards and is not sold separately. It must be purchased with a board or as a follow-up to a previous board order.

How to Insert Your Board Into the Frame

Bottom horizontal rail installation
Step 01

Bottom Rail Alignment

Insert the communication board into the bottom horizontal post using a scissor-like motion. Ensure the board slides fully into the bottom sleeve before moving on to the next step.

Top horizontal rail attachment
Step 02

Top Rail Secure

Place the top horizontal onto the substrate as pictured, using the same scissor motion. Press down firmly to ensure the board is fully inserted into both the top and bottom horizontals.

Vertical post insertion
Step 03

Vertical Integration

Insert the board into the vertical post sleeves using a firm sliding motion. Ensure the board is fully seated into the vertical posts on both sides to secure the board in place with no gaps.

Final vertical post attachment
Step 04

Frame Closure

Insert the remaining vertical post by aligning it with the horizontal pieces. Use a firm sliding motion to ensure the board is fully seated, securing all sides of the frame tightly.

Hardware and cap installation
Step 05

Hardware & Finish

Secure the frame by inserting the screws into the posts. Next, install the post caps. The caps fit snugly, but you can add a couple of drops of PVC glue for extra security.

💡

Final Installation Tip

Before screwing, ensure the rails are fully inserted and snug against the inner wall of the posts. Center the screws horizontally on the posts and vertically on the bottom rail for maximum stability.
