I love horizontal wood slat fencing. It has a very clean, distinct and modern look that can transform any space. It not only adds architectural interest, but it also has some very practical uses, too. By allowing light through, slat screens are a great way to provide privacy without feeling too closed in. It’s also great for hiding home or garden features that may not be too pleasant to the eye such as an old shed or the area where you keep your garbage cans. But the best part is how easy it is to put together and install.
The folks at The Brickhouse blog take you through their slat screen installation right here. While Design Dining And Diapers blog has a well-detailed tutorial for their slat installation
right here. Design Dining And Diapers uses wide slats for their fencing versus The Brickhouse’s narrow ones, but their detailed directions can be easily adjusted to accommodate any width slat you prefer.
Check out the two tutorials. One of them is bound to give you just the right inspiration to create your own beautiful wooden slat privacy screen.
Cheers!
