Plan the Design and Layout

What happens here

Begin by envisioning the desired aesthetic and functionality of your privacy screen. Determine the overall dimensions (height and width) and decide on the pattern for the horizontal and vertical planks. A staggered, modern design is shown in the video. Sketch out your design on paper, noting where different colored planks will go, as well as the placement of integrated lights and decorative shelves. Consider how the screen will integrate with your existing patio or deck structure.

Goal: Finalize the design and dimensions of the privacy screen
