So it was one complete unit when we put it in the ground. That was the main one we started with above. He drilled pilot holes first since pressure treated wood is very hard. He attached the first one to two posts with screws. Trim pieces for around the lattice panel (only the side that shows).Īs he finished the square frames (with 2 x 4’s and lattice all nailed together). We bought all our materials from Home Depot:Ĥ×4 pressure treated decorative posts (4)Ģ×4 pressure treated boards (fit to the lattice sheets and then cut to fit, butted together on corners).Ģ×2 boards attached inside the 2×4’s toward the back for the lattice to attach to Here’s a list of the lumber materials we used for our DIY privacy screen. He used 2×4 boards to trim it all out and attached those to the posts with screws. Mark figured out we would need 4 posts and each section was a 4×4′ piece of lattice (he cut one 4′ x 8′ sheet of lattice in 1/2) inside the squares. If you’re going to try this, just measure your space and determine how much area you want to cover. I didn’t get good pics of Mark building the pieces that went together to form the privacy screen, but I’ll show you as best as I can with these instructions. We bought the materials months ago and as life gets busy sometimes, we never had a chance to finish this project over the summer months, but we are finished with it now. We have always wanted to hide the AC units as well as the garbage cans, since they are not pretty to look at. Our AC units and garbage can is on the side of our house off the driveway and by the garage. Mark and I (mostly Mark) just completed another DIY project at our house that’s been on our list of to-do’s since we moved in 4 years ago.
