Welcome to Odd Jobs! Auckland-based commercial photographer and artist Jae Frew is also a keen DIYer, and in this Odd Jobs video, he shows how to whip up a cool privacy screen. He has crafted it from timber and given it a lovely dark finish by staining it with Resene Waterborne Woodsman penetrating oil stain in Resene Pitch Black. The screen is anchored by a sturdy base, which ensures it’s well-balanced and won’t topple over, plus it has castors for seamless movability.
Check out Jae’s step-by-step guide to make your own outdoor privacy screen.
You will need:
• Timber (Jae used radiata pine)
• 80 grit sandpaper and sanding block
• 44x 14G x 75mm bugle head timber screws
• 28x 12G x 45mm hex head timber screws
• Drop cloth
• Resene Waterborne Woodsman penetrating oil stain (Jae used Resene Pitch Black)
• Resene paint pot
• PAL Legend Flat brush
• Roller and tray (optional)
• 4x hooks
• 4x 75mm locking castors (optional)
Tools:
• Tape measure
• Pencil
• Safety gear
• Drop saw or handsaw
• Combination square
• Drill and assorted drill bits
• 15mm spacer
• Nail gun and nails (or hammer and nails)
• Spirit level
Follow these step by step instructions to make you own privacy screen:
Step 1: Cut your timber
Measure and mark out your timber to the listed lengths, then cut using a drop saw. Remember to always measure twice and cut once, and don’t forget to wear your safety gear.
Step 2: Frame it up
On the ground, lay out the timber that will create the frame for your wall.
Step 3: Pre-drill
Mark pilot holes for drilling 20mm from the edge, then drill pilot holes into the timber using a 3/16 drill bit.
Step 4: Smooth edges
Chamfer the edges of the timber using 80 grit sandpaper and a sanding block.
Step 5: Assemble frame and base
Screw the screen frame together using 14G x 75mm bugle head screws.Repeat this for the base frame.
Step 6: Install battens
Now that you have your frame sorted, chamfer the edges of all the batten pieces then place the first one flush at the top of the frame and secure with nails. Use a 15mm spacer between each batten to ensure they’re evenly distributed and secure with nails. Repeat until all battens are installed.
Step 7: Attach frame to base
Align the screen with the base, using a spirit level to make sure the screen is plumb. Drill pilot holes in the centre of the base, then use a 3/8 drill bit to countersink holes and secure the frame to the base using 12G x 45mm hex head screws. Repeat on the inside of the base frame, drilling the holes on opposing sides to the outer holes.
Step 8: Final batten
Secure one of the 90mm battens to the bottom of the screen.
Step 9: Back plate
Screw the remaining 90mm batten to the reverse of the screen for the back plate.
Step 10: Base slats
Evenly mark out and drill pilot holes for the base slats, then secure the base slats with 14G x 75mm bugle head screws.
Step 11: Staining
To prepare for staining, put down drop cloths under your screen and decant your stain into a paint pot or roller tray. Apply two coats of Resene Waterborne Woodsman with a flat brush to make sure you cover all edges. You can also use a paint roller to speed up the process.
Step 12: Add hooks
When the stain is dry, mark out pilot holes for four hooks on the back plate and drill holes using a 1/8 drill bit. Screw the hooks into place.
Step 13: Make it move
For portability, attach four lockable castors to the base. This makes easy to move it around and customise your outdoor space.
Step 14: Private screening
Place potted plants or other outdoor decor on the base and you’re ready to enjoy your new privacy screen. Screen stained with Resene Waterborne Woodsman penetrating oil stain in Resene Pitch Black.
