Step 2: Insert Privacy Board

Step 2.1

Position C and D: holes forward, channels facing each other

  • Orient the Left Posts (C) and Right Posts (D) so the pre-drilled holes face forward and the open channels face inward toward each other.

Step 2.2

Insert board (F) in grooves; spacer (H) flush at post bottom

  • Slide a Post Board (F) into the grooves of the left and right post.
  • Insert one Spacer (H) into the bottom of each post until flush, then slide the board down until it rests on both spacers. This will be the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Assemble the First Screen

Step 3.1

Insert 13 boards; drive 2 screws (G) into pre-drilled holes

  • Slide 13 additional Post Boards (F) into the post channels to fill the screen.
  • Drive (2) 1" Stainless Steel Screws (G) into the pre-drilled holes in the posts to secure the boards.

Step 3.2

Flip screen; insert anchors (E); drive 4 screws to secure

  • Flip the screen so the post bottoms face up. Remove both Spacers (H), then insert the Post Anchors (E) into each post until the pre-drilled holes align.
  • Drive (4) 1" Stainless Steel Screws (G) into the pre-drilled holes to secure the post boards and post anchors.

Step 4: Assemble the Second Screen

Step 4.1

Two completed screens side by side

  • Repeat Steps 2–3 to assemble the second screen.

Step 5: Installing the Screen in the Ground

Step 5.1

Push posts into ground; loosen soil; add water; hammer in

  • Move the screen to its final location and attempt to push the posts into the ground by hand.
  • If the ground is too hard, loosen the top 6"–7" of soil with a claw hammer, then add water to soften it.
  • Place a block of wood on top of the post to protect it, then gently hammer the post into the ground.

Step 5.2

Optional: auger bit, drill 12-16in hole, fill water, push in

Optional — Hard Ground: If the ground is very firm, or you have more than 3–4 panels to install, consider using a 1¾" diameter auger bit (commonly used for planting tulips, $15–$20 on Amazon). Drill a hole 12"–16" deep, fill with water, then push the post into the hole.

Step 5.3

Dig hole 8in diameter, 14in deep for hard ground

  • If the ground is extremely hard, dig a hole 8" in diameter and 14" deep to accommodate one post from each panel in the same hole.

Step 5.4

Level screen, backfill excavated dirt, tamp if needed

  • Level the screen as needed, backfill with excavated dirt, and tamp to secure.

Step 6: Connect the Screens

Step 6.1

Corner: join screens at 90° with clips (B) and screws

  • Straight Line: Connect adjacent screens using Joiner Clips (B) and 1" Stainless Steel Screws (G) as shown.
  • Corner: Connect screens at a right angle using Joiner Clips (B) and 1" Stainless Steel Screws (G) as shown.

Step 7: Install Post Caps

Step 7.1

Press post caps (A) into top of posts; tap with hammer

  • Press Post Caps (A) firmly into the top of each post. If the fit is tight, use a hammer and a piece of cardboard to protect the cap and tap it gently into place.
