4. Istruzioni di montaggio
Follow these steps to assemble your tectake safety barrier:

Slide the panels together until they click securely into place. Ensure the 'OPEN' indicator on the hinge is not visible when connected, indicating a locked position.
- Form the Desired Shape: Arrange the 5 panels into your desired configuration (e.g., hexagonal playpen, straight barrier, or U-shape around a fireplace). The hinges allow for a wide angular range, offering flexibility.
- Montaggio a parete (consigliato): For maximum stability and safety, especially when used as a barrier around a fireplace or at the top/bottom of stairs, secure the barrier to a wall using the provided wall mounting hardware.
- Position the barrier in its final location.
- Mark the drilling points for the wall brackets on the wall.
- Drill holes and insert appropriate wall plugs (if necessary for your wall type).
- Attach the wall brackets to the wall using the screws.
- Secure the end panels of the barrier to the wall brackets. The brackets allow for 360-degree rotation for flexible positioning.
