Would like foldable to prevent pervy neighbour so protect windows in day and then movable to screen off area when I’m on porch. Would like to be able to anchor to this pot plant stand so neighbour can’t damage it and would also need to be water proof to withstand deliberate soaking. I’m after a bifold type situation which I can add wheels too. An example of what I’m looking at https://www.bunnings.com.au/artiss-4-panel-room-divider-screen-grey_p0255960
any suggestions on how to anchor wheels and what to use be great. I’ve got a power drill but that’s it. Novice level -first DIY. Thx
Good Evening @oiDIY
Welcome to the community I am sure you will find very similar projects in these pages to what you are after.
In fact here is one that @casilda was wondering about.
How to build a lockable wheel base for screen? I suggested what general parts you could use to consruct it.
I wouldnt use your plant stand as is for supporting a taller screen, I would be worried your plants take an impropmtu flying lesson in even a small breeze.
I also have built a outside lounge that could be shortened to do the same job as what you want.
Outside timber lounge with wheels
This was not a hard project A cicular saw and a drill were the main tools .
I spin the lounge around all the time, it has a high back for a windbreak and stops the sun from sizzling me.
How wide is your patio? How much space do you have to turn something like either of the above? And last question Does the patio get wet?

Thanks so much. I don’t have capacity to access circular saw. But appreciate tip about not fixing to pot. I was hoping someone might know how to brace wheels as the feet on the screen are very small squares/rectangles. In store they weren’t sure. The wheels on that referred post are square based but are way too big. Appreciate quick response though thanks. If anyone has any other ideas or similar DIY that be great
Good Evening @oiDIY
Mmmm If you want to attach wheels to the privacy screen you showed, how about these Move It 50mm 40kg Grey Swivel Right Angle Bracket Castor - 2 Pack The have a tall long side to attach to the screens posts.
