Using The Chartwell Runs as a Stand alone Run – Home & Roost

How to Re-Attach a Wall Panel to Your Chartwell Run for Standalone Use

Are you looking to transform your Chartwell run into a standalone unit? It’s simpler than you might think! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you reattach the run wall panel quickly and safely.

What You’ll Need:

Screws (provided with your run)
An electric screwdriver (a hand screwdriver can also be used, but an electric one will save time and effort)
A helping hand (recommended for safety and ease)

Step 1: Preparation

First, gather all your tools and screws. Make sure the panel and the run are positioned close to where they will be attached. It’s best to do this in an open area to have ample space for maneuvering.

Step 2: Position the Panel

Align the panel with the run. This is where an extra pair of hands comes in handy. The panel is large, and having someone to help hold it in place will make the process safer and more efficient.

Step 3: Secure the Corners

Start by placing a screw in one of the top corners. Gently drive the screw into the pre-existing hole using your electric screwdriver. Don’t fully tighten it yet – this allows some wiggle room to align the other corners. Repeat this step for the opposite top corner.

Step 4: Final Tightening

Once both top corners are loosely attached, proceed to the bottom corners. After all screws are in place, go back to each screw and tighten them securely. Ensure each screw is snug, but be careful not to over tighten and strip the holes.

Step 5: Double-Check

Give the panel a gentle shake to ensure it's firmly attached and there’s no wobbling. If everything feels solid, your run is now successfully converted into a standalone unit!

Safety Tips:

Two People Are Better Than One: The panel can be unwieldy due to its size. Having someone to help hold it in place prevents accidents and makes the job easier.
Right Tools for the Job: An electric screwdriver is highly recommended. It not only saves time but also reduces the physical effort required.

Final Thoughts:

Converting your Chartwell run into a standalone unit is a great way to adapt your space to your needs. With the right tools and a bit of teamwork, this task can be completed quickly and with minimal fuss. Enjoy your newly set up standalone run!
