DIY Outdoor Privacy Screens

Howdy! I built some Outdoor Privacy Screens for a client with a chevron pattern and in this video I show you how you can do it too! I used pressure treated wood, cedar fence pickets, galvanized hardware and exterior stain to ensure a long life! #privacyscreen #diy #landscapedecor

Went through dozens of KZbin videos looking for ideas for a privacy screen/fence for my deck. I found it. Awesome job, thanks!!!

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and happy building! 🙌🍊

[@hayleyhuffman8123]

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

I have a tutorial on my website. Link in description. 🍊

[@drevil3456]

wow...those look fantastic.....I think I might switch over to this design as I had a different scenario in my brain BUT it was a lot more work, money and wood. Very nice

@Baker Colton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@SheenaRea]

Nice work! Are you a self-taught carpenter? Your skills are impressive. (I just tinker at my house doing odd jobs, but would love to learn to create more.) Very helpful video!!

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks! And yes… all self taught. Lots of trail and lots of error, but you can make anything you really want to. 🍊

[@SheenaRea]

@@TheAwesomeOrange That is amazing!! Gives me hope. Thanks again 😊

[@ofthewoods963]

Fabulous!! One question ... do you have to put them in cement like fence posts??

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks. Yes you would have to set them like normal fence posts.

[@armandodrozjr.8854]

Great job. Was wondering if you had any DIY ideas for a pool enclosure thats already screened in, but still visible to the neighbors. There is only a 5 ft white ugly PVC fence bordering the outside of the enclosure and I'd like to gain more privacy above that sight line.

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks. Hard to say without seeing it. Good luck.

[@armandodrozjr.8854]

@@TheAwesomeOrange I already started and it's coming out really good. Horizontal slats, starting 4 ft off the ground. 4 in wide, 1 inch thick to the width of 3 feet which gives a floating privacy screen on my side. On their side 2 ft of the screen is visible which is perfect from their angle without being ugly to their view. Stained the same ebony brown color as the aluminum screen frame. I have part of it done but it looks good so far. I will post a video for your critique.

[@armandodrozjr.8854]

Ok. Here is a quick video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4e9oHyDn86eh7M It's a few spliced into one so i dubbed over the voice with some music. You can see how close each house is to the other and it's a problem with privacy. It's partially done because it takes so much time to personally select each board. Waiting for Home depot to restock their 4x1 pressure treated.

[@cfayewaders]

Love this!! About how much would this project cost to do?

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks! I don’t recall off hand but I do have more details my my blog, link in the description. 🍊

[@ModernRemade]

These are so cool! I am in need of some privacy and this is such a awesome looking option! Sub from me 😁

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Awesome thank you so much! 🙌🍊

[@elaineedwards5742]

Love it by a female too, great job

[@KH-gp7mh]

Trying to build this! For the connectors, I was confused on which hole I put the screw in. When trying to install, my 2x4 ends up cracking because the screen head takes up alot of space 😒

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Predrilling can help with the 2x4’s cracking. 🍊

[@adamjacobs3642]

I went to your blog, but did not see the dimensions. Can you post a link to where I can find them? Looking to add this to my deck but want to see how many I will need to cover the 20ft side

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Adam Jacobs The link is in the description of this video. To get the plans there is a pop up that you put your email address into and then you get the plans. 🍊

[@adamjacobs3642]

Thanks! I will have to try on my laptop, the pop up doesn’t pop up when I open it with my phone :)

[@thebluerobin]

It looks great but you sure wasted a lot of cedar . Maybe you should have gotten sizes closer to what you needed for the job.

[@lisao3041]

I was going to say something similar - why not just have them be wider? The backyard definitely had the space. If you're charging a customer, that's one thing, but for yourself, I would be more economical with the product.

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks. I built them the size my client wanted. Plus, I save my scraps and will use them on another project. I try to have as little waste as possible. 🍊

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

These were for a client. And most of the excess has already been used on another project! 🍊

[@pavang5531]

Do you need a permit to build a privacy screen? My fence (6 feet) is not tall enough so been wanting to make some privacy screen but now sure if it’s allowed if you already have 6 feet tall fences.

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Great question.... every city is different so I’d check with them. But if it is on your side of the fence I personally think you should be good as long as it is crazy high. 🍊

[@tbw2aa]

Dear Orange Machine, How critical are the center cross supports? And, I've watched some others but at 30°. At 30°, I'm looking at a total span of 10 feet. Too much?

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

The center supports are critical and they give you something to mail the slats to. Not sure on the 30 degree thing. Happy building! 🍊

[@taylorfinias7954]

Do you have another video of you installing them? Did you pour concrete for the legs?

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

I don’t, because my client installed them. But yes they would need to be installed with concrete or they would probably eventually fall over. 🍊

[@iamagrasshopper1920]

I wish I had the materials to make my privacy screen

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

When you do, I’d live to see a pic if the finished project. 🍊

[@haydur]

The screens are nice, but I don't get why your client installed them where they did... seems like a waste.

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Haydur A Thanks! They were for decor and to add privacy from the two story house behind her. 🍊

[@suzanamyles8426]

Looks like she was blocking the view from a neighbouring double story house on the left of her garden where she had a tree or shrub that wasn't doing the job and then she just put one in on the other side to make it uniform

[@IrvingNolasco]

can i use these as fences?

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Sure! Just have to add cross supports between the segments. 🍊

[@Kayakmom9]

How do you put in the ground?

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

You dig post holes and fill it with concrete. 🍊
