What happens here
Now, incorporate the vertical planks (e.g., the lighter-colored composite decking) to create the staggered, dynamic visual effect shown in the video. Cut these planks to varying lengths according to your design plan. Position them vertically over the horizontal slats at strategic intervals. Secure each vertical plank by driving outdoor-rated deck screws through them and into the horizontal planks, ensuring a strong attachment. Some vertical planks should extend above the uppermost horizontal slat to achieve the desired aesthetic height variation.
Goal: Add staggered vertical planks to create the screen's unique pattern
