You're dog won't stop barking at the neighbors dog? I've got a solution! Privacy wall!
What happens here
Begin by preparing the existing deck structure or adjacent columns to receive the new privacy screen. Install vertical posts, which appear to be composite decking material, securely fastening them to the deck's beams or vertical supports. Ensure these vertical posts are plumb and evenly spaced to create the framework for the horizontal slats. Use a level to check for plumbness and a measuring tape to ensure consistent spacing between posts. Fasten them using a cordless drill and appropriate screws for composite material, or a nail gun if the structure allows.
Goal: Establish the vertical framework for the privacy screen
