In my case, it&#8217;s not so much for privacy, but to create more of the feeling of a secret garden room. (However, if they ever build something on the land behind my house, I&#8217;ll be happy to have my deck privacy screen).<\/p>\n<p>Since you can see it easily from the windows in the house, the screen definitely needed to be decorative. And I also wanted it to prevent people from accidentally falling off the side of the deck if they backed a chair up too far. It&#8217;s only a 6-inch drop but still&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Originally, I was looking for some kind of large wrought iron art piece that I could hang there. But trying to find one that I liked and was big enough for the space was hard to do.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to build a lattice screen. Not quite as interesting, but I could hang some garden art on it to add some extra flair.<\/p>\n<p>Then I discovered the perfect combination of deck privacy lattice and art&#8230;these decorative privacy screen panels.<\/p>\n<p>With a few boards to make a frame, this decorative DIY outdoor privacy screen was really easy to make and looks great on my deck.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kt-simple-box wg-simple-box\" style=\"background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2); min-height:1px; padding-top:15px; padding-bottom:2px; padding-left:15px; padding-right:15px; \"><div class=\"kt-simple-box-inner\"><\/p>\n<h2>Supplies<\/h2>\n<h3>Materials<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>2 &#8211; 10&#8242; x 4&#8243; x 4&#8243; posts.

Measure the first one carefully and cut it.<\/p>\n<p>Then use that board as the measuring stick for all of the others. Just make sure that the ends line up properly to get the right measurement.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2 | Put Up The Posts<\/h3>\n<p>The next step in building your decorative DIY outdoor privacy screen is to put up the posts that will hold up your panel.<\/p>\n<p>The screen will be about 6 feet 6 inches wide when it is done, so your holes will need to be that far apart.<\/p>\n<p>1. Figure out where the posts will go. Since I was putting mine behind the gazebo, I wanted to make sure that the screen would be centered across the back of the deck.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30810 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/garden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/04\/decorative-diy-outdoor-privacy-screen-2-720x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Post hole digger digging a hole for the privacy screen posts\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" data-pin-description=\"This decorative DIY outdoor privacy screen tutorial is awesome!

(You definitely don&#8217;t need to go to the gym on the day you do this!)<\/p>\n<p>Since I live in South Carolina where we don&#8217;t really have a frost line in the winter, 2 feet is far enough. However, if you live farther north, your holes will likely need to be deeper to make sure they don&#8217;t shift in the winter. (As an example, when I lived in Toronto, we used to bury posts 4 feet deep). I would use whatever the recommendations are for fence posts in your area.<\/p>\n<p>3. To allow water to drain, adding a couple of inches of gravel to the bottom of the hole is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30824 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fromhousetohome.com\/garden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/04\/decorative-diy-outdoor-privacy-screen-12-720x1080.jpg\" alt=\"The DIY privacy screen posts in holes in the ground\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" data-pin-description=\"This decorative DIY outdoor privacy screen tutorial is awesome!

Center the privacy screen panel in the middle of the frame. There should be about 12&#8243; on each side.<\/p>\n<p>I used clamps to help keep everything in place.<\/p>\n<p>2. Screw through the top board into both of the inner frame 2&#8243; x 4&#8243; boards using deck screws.<\/p>\n<p>3. Do the same for the bottom board.<\/p>\n<p>You should now have a free-standing decorative privacy screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8 | The Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n<p>Once your decorative DIY outdoor privacy screen is up, use the level to make sure that the posts are standing straight up.<\/p>\n<p>Then fill in the holes.<\/p>\n<p>This is one time when living in an area with soil that is almost all clay is a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>I can fill the holes back up with the dirt I dug up and that post isn&#8217;t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you live somewhere that has more sandy soil, you will probably want to mix up some cement to fill the holes with.
