I am wanting to create a timber feature on the front of our brick home. It is just a small area. The timber would run vertically. I know I need to attach horizontal battens to the bricks and attach the screening to that. I am wanting something similar to the picture attached. Happy to treat/stain/varnish etc. Whatever is needed to obtain that look. I just don't know what the best type of timber to use is. I'm also happy for the timber to be a little wider. Please let me know what you suggest.
Hello @hdona0
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building a timber screen.
An easy way to recreate the look is by using SpecRite 1800 x 902mm Pre-Oiled Merbau Alternating Slat Fence Panel, but it has that dark colour. If you're after a lighter colour, I suggest looking at 90 x 22mm Decking H3 Treated Pine L/M. You'll need to season the timber and then you can stain it to a colour that you like.
I also suggest having a look at this discussion - Feature wall fence with Matrix screen panels by @diy_hausdesigns.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
