White, 150mm UPVC Flat Plastic Board/Soffit 9mm x 5m Length General Purpose Utility Liner

Product Information

We use exactly the same technique as before; tape one side first and space out the strips by using a removable piece of tape. Then do the same on the other board and then lastly join them together. This is probably the least important piece of kit of the build, as I’m simply only using this to hold the two folded sides of the V-Flat together at the top. If you have another solution, then go for it, but for a couple of quid, this worked well. Total Costs for Materials Plastic fascia boards are becoming increasingly popular as technology and manufacturing methods continue to improve. With so many styles, shapes and colours of fascia boards & cladding it means you can create the exact look you want for your property, with no need to compromise.

The system can be supplied in modular kit format (please see size matrix) as well as bespoke sizes and configurations. There are many options available for you to feed your pet from instead of a bowl, such as boards, bringing unique benefits to help create a positive mealtime experience. Here are three reasons that you might stop feeding your dog from a bowl.Dogs and cats are often labelled ‘ fussy’ when realistically, there is always a reason that they do not show interest in their food. They may feel anxious, frustrated, confused, or vulnerable. Their instinctive behaviour to not eat is your pet’s natural language, that can be interpreted by people. This weave-fold not only gives the hinge great strength, but it allows you to fold the boards in both directions! Pets are able to move around flat boards easily, helping them to reach their food from a range of angles.

As I mentioned above, I trimmed my V-Flat down a little to make it a bit easier to use in a home studio. If you are planning on doing the same, now is the time to do it. This benefits all pets, however flat-nosed/brachycephalic and older pets struggle most to catch their food when trying to chase it around a bowl, meaning they may experience the greatest benefits of eating from a flat surface. It’s also important to consider hygiene and sustainability when thinking about what your pet eats from. Different surfaces can be more more hygienic than others, for example our chomping boards are very hygienic and eco friendly because the fibers within have a substance called “bamboo kun” that make them naturally anti- bacterial. This prevents bacteria and microbes growing on the surfaces, making it not only hygienic but also odour resistant. For flat-nosed pets in particular, it becomes even more difficult to eat. This can result in them becoming frustrated, anxious and aggressive around food, or stop them eating altogether.In the wild, cats and dogs would eat from the ground, which is a flat surface. This enables them to move around their food with ease, as well as allowing them to see whether they have any dangers or challenges approaching. Having this awareness during mealtimes helps your pet to feel safe, enhancing their enjoyment as they eat.

One thing to keep in mind is to keep the two flaps even. By that I mean, if you wanted to take 20cm off of the top of your V-Flat, take 10cm off of the top and 10cm off of the bottom. This makes sure that when the V-Flat is folded down, it’s also smaller and takes up less room. Plus it’s just neater. Please note : The 1.6m relates to the length of the slope, therefore the horizontal projection will vary dependant on the selected roof pitch. Threshold: This door comes with a standard point; you can upgrade to Low Aluminium Threshold in the options above. Cill options are available.Eating from a bowl can be awkward and uncomfortable, especially for small dogs, senior pets and flat-nosed/brachycephalic dogs and cats, due to the eating action required to reach food.

I’ll discuss other ways to use your V-Flat later, but for now, let’s look at how to make our own DIY foldable V-Flat. Making your DIY Foldable V-Flat The system can accommodate pitches from 5 degrees to 15degrees, on standard modular kits the maximum projection is achieved at a pitch of 5 degrees. While slow feeder mats and bowls can be a great enrichment activity, they are not the answer to slowing your pet down at mealtimes. Making the hinges in this way actually creates a surprisingly strong hinge, in fact, it’s far stronger than if we’d simply taped it on one side, so I really do recommend you take the time to join your boards like this. The Finer Details of the ‘Weave-Fold’

One of the main benefits of using UPVC soffit boards is the lightweight dynamic of the boards. Thanks to the type of material they are made from, these boards have little weight to them whether it be one of our bigger options such as Aquacel 405mm flat general purpose soffit board or smaller sizes. The only other point worth mentioning here above the tape is the fact that I bought FIFTY METER rolls of the stuff! That may seem like overkill, but the regular roll length was too small for what I wanted and this far larger roll was simply more cost-effective than purchasing multiple smaller ones. Spray Adhesive Glass: Standard 28mm Toughened glass 1.4 value or upgrade to 44mm Triple glaze with an excellent u-value of 1.0 - 75% better than a standard Bi-fold. Camera Settings: Camera: Nikon D850, Lens: 105mm f/2, Shutter Speed: 1/60th, Aperture: f/2.8, ISO: 30, Kelvin: 5600K, Focal Length: 105mm. Flat boards can be a great solution to solve mealtime anxiety, allowing pets to keep an eye on their surroundings and feel safe while they eat. Giving them space to move around whilst eating can also remove any fears of being stationary while distracted.
