hi again it's Jason from Fraser Valley rose farm just a little home project
here this privacy screen behind me which i i
love the look of it but honestly the thing i like the best
about it is just how easily you can put it up or take it down as
your needs suit you because this rail here stays in place
but the slats are loose stacked into the rail so all you have to do is
remove the slats or put them back in and in a matter of minutes you can
change your whole area the whole thing is put together with
easily obtainable dimensional lumber from your local hardware store
let me show you how i put it together here this is the area before we begin
very much a work in progress we're starting to do the painting now and
cleaning up and we have some furniture waiting to go
in the reason we want to separate this is to divide the living area from the
working area of our farm over there at the greenhouses we often
get visitors and guests coming in and we just want to divide that from our
living area here on the back deck for the rails i'm just using cheap
dimensional lumber one by twos and two by threes i'll show
you how to attach those in a minute cutting them down to a six foot length
because once i install this vertically that's the height that i want to be able
to stack the slats into i'm applying some glue here to the broad
side of the 2x3 and then i'm going to take a 1 by 2 and
lay it on edge right at the back edge of that two by
three and clamp it down as shown
with that one by two clamped on both ends i'm now going to roll it forward
and apply a screw through the back edge of what will be the rail
that's the side that will be facing the post so you'll never see these screw
ends again and it'll keep it nice and secure once i take off those clamps
just before i apply this second one by two that will make up the second rail
i use one of the slats one of the slots that will eventually be one of the
horizontal portions of this screen just to get the spacing right you can
see i'm putting in a ruler there just to create a little extra space so
it'll slide down that channel perfectly and once i have that applied
and clamped then i'm going to roll it over again and
apply screws to keep this second rail secure
with all those clamps removed this is the eventual shape
of the rail and what i'm going to use is a scrap piece of 1x3
and just trace it out so i can match the shape of the bottom end of what will
eventually be my rail and once i've cut that down to match the
shape then i'll apply it with screws to what
will be the bottom end of my channel it's not too pretty but it won't be too
visible either once i have it all put up and finally before i
install the rails i'm going to put a coat of black paint on them just so
they'll be a little prettier and to the back deck now i'm installing
the fully assembled black rail onto the post of the house
just making sure that it's completely level vertically
i install a second rail on the other side and then slide a slat in
and check that it is now horizontally level
and that's pretty much the whole setup i'm going to use these little blocks i
cut from one by twos as spacers and then i'm going to begin
stacking the boards nice and easy but even better if you can
get somebody else to help you out with the other end of the board
while you're putting them in
and because i'm installing two channels here i'm going to put
a channel up on this side of the post as well and then repeat all the other steps
well here's how it looks all dressed up and it fits in nicely i think
lisa went ahead and finished up the painting above and
on the posts as well and then dressed the rest of the back deck here
with patio furniture and so to me it looks uh
fantastic and really enjoy this area thanks so much for watching and if you
have any questions about this privacy screen let me know and i'll
try to answer those in the comments of the video
