DIY Plan for building a privacy screen with horizontal slats in two different widths. It is a construction project that gives the garden or patio a personal and varied expression. By alternating a narrow and a wide slat, a rhythmic pattern is created along the entire structure that adds more character than a privacy screen with only one slat dimension.
The structure consists of vertical posts that support a framework of battens, against which the slats are mounted horizontally in a recurring pattern of alternating widths.
The posts are buried in the ground with footings to provide a stable and lasting anchor. It is also possible to attach the structure to the deck’s joists if the posts are adjusted in length for that. The slats are mounted with careful spacing and a consistent pattern to provide a uniform and appealing result along the entire privacy screen. The construction project has a simple structure and is well-suited even for those who have not built anything similar before.
The difficulty level is easy, and the construction project is estimated to take one day to complete.
The PDF you download contains a complete shopping list, saw and cutting instructions with drawings, as well as a step-by-step assembly guide that takes you through the entire process from foundation to finished privacy screen. The combination of two slat widths makes this a construction project that results in something a little more distinctive than the standard option, without requiring more time or experience.
