We were required to install privacy screens as part of the planning approval, something I was a little confused over given the size and position of them. 3m high by 4m long on the northern boundary and 4.9m long on the southern boundary. So I set about finding various options for the screens, at one point thinking about shade sail screens, but settled on the traditional timber (merbau) screens once I found these - 1800x1200mm finger joint 65x15mm Merbau Screens from

Here are the privacy screens I constructed over the weekend using 100x100x4.8m Cyprus posts, Merbau 1800x1200 screens,70x45 braces and some fence palings to hold them in place. The palings will be replaced with wider merbau decking boards in the future, once I've painted and trimmed the posts. The screens are not nailed or screwed in place as the movement of the posts would destroy the screens. All the screens have been oiled with
Intergrain Nature's Timber Oil, a product I use on timber products.

ReplyDeleteMany people decide to install screens in their home not only to protect their property from invaders, but also to create enclosures that are not visible or easily accessible from passers-by
