Courtyard view

The project was to replace an old timber fence with a privacy screen and gate creating a secure area for children and dogs. The open work of the new screens allows the wind to be filtered so taller plants in pots are less likely to be wind damaged.

Materials

3 Tuscan panel 1800 x 900mm screens

1 pfeiffer adjustable gate frame

1 pryda HDG bolt down post anchors 

assorted timber for framing and gate panels

paint to suit

Good Afernoon @Paul43 

Welcome to Bunnings Community 🙂 And man, that is a nice looking fence. How many times have a walked past those Tuscan panels. From what was to what you have now is a real improvement. How has it stood up to any wind? I have thought of using the panels myself but its always been on the list of "to do" options. Another question is there any rust like stain that develops on  the base of them?
