How to add Matrix screen panels to a deck?

Hi

I am thinking of setting up multiple matrix screens next to each other that sit on top of my deck to add some privacy, more likely to go with this .

 

I just need a bit of help with the questions below:

- what does on the ground mean for this? Does it mean it comes with the frame and the post ready to be bolted to my deck? I saw another version of this that was cheaper but doesn't say on-ground. 

- As you know deck panels are thin, so how can we bolt these posts to the deck?

- can I hang these screens directly on my colourbond fence?

 

Thank you

Hi @EricL 

What drill bit size should I get to pre drill the panel frame?

Hi @AJ-DIYer 

 

I suggest using an 8g drill bit on the frame and Matrix panel. Please note that the screws I recommended are self-embedding so there is no need to drill pilot holes in the timber.
