Re: How to build a balcony screen to hide stuff?
Hello @MarionJ
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about building a mobile balcony screen.
I suggest building a lightweight frame made of 42 x 19mm 2.4m DAR Pine Premium in combination with Shade Cloth. The balcony screen will be light, easy to move and can fit through standard doorways for transfer. The triangle braces are made of timber offcuts or MDF, the entire assembly can be joined together using timber screws.
I've placed an image below to give you an idea of what it can look like.
If you have any questions about its assembly, please let me know.
