I think the bottom piece needs to be removed and put up top to fill in that gap, its better that the gap be on the bottom in case you need to blow off and hose off the patio. Other than that it looks fabulous :)
Looks great and will give you some peace of mind !!! I had a neighbor who asked how high I was going to let my baby cedars grow. " As tall as the other ones, 20', why ?!" "Well I won't be able to see into your yard." "EXACTLY. Have a good day." 😊❤
@elizabethjarret...Why people have to give too much hostility to others??? Life is hard, and there are wars in many parts of the world....Why do not be more frienly...???🤔🤔🙈🙈
I was so elated when my neighbors built a a privacy fence ! Literally was like “oh thank goodness I don’t have to see their yard anymore!” I seriously don’t understand the weirdos who complain about NOT being able to see their neighbor’s yards. Seriously get a life if that’s the only thing going for them. Your screen looks great, btw!
I've neighbors whose backyard is so cluttered with crap, I can't sell my house unless"I" put up a privacy fence. I'd have to take out a home improvement loan for that😢
Some jerk just bought the tiny lot in between my neighbor’s and my house. He proceeded to rip out my hedges along the natural privacy line and I’m so upset. Especially because he decided to scream at me when I pointed out that they were MY hedges and then tried to tell me he was doing me a favor bc he claimed the back of my garage is on HIS property (it’s not.) So, I spent $500 to have the survey company come out to make 10000% sure and now bc he’s such a psycho I have to get my lawyer to file an injunction along with a bill for my hedges. Idk what’s wrong with people. Glad your neighbors seem like sensible people, though!! We’ll be building a fence now since I’d prefer to never have to see him again. Definitely going to make sure it’s pretty ugly on the side he’ll have to look at 😂😂
Think that’s more important than people give credit for, sure a lot of places even mandate the beauty side be facing away from you, but if you can make both sides look good why wouldn’t you anyway.
I have an idiot neighbor who built his house directly across my driveway and now he complains about his lack of privacy. The kicker is that he owns 5 acres and could have built his home further down the road where he would have had all the privacy he could ever want.
I don't speak to any of my neighbors. That way, I don't care if/when they talk behind my back...like 99.99999% of neighbors love to do. It also prevents them from asking for favours or complaining on stuff I do or don't do.

The only thing that will help work against warping is to observe the grain of the wood, lay them against each other so that the grain is in opposite directions and nail or glue them together before mounting. Otherwise one has to live with the warping. 😉 A beam in the middle always spoils the aesthetic IMO.

The contents vary. One is controlled by the owner in the way she desires to share with the rest of the world, the other isn't. Nothing wrong about installing something in her own yard. If you're not interested in viewing the process, simply click away.
That is awesome! Also now you can add some hooks to the center of your outdoor living space and put some hanging flower baskets to make it really cozy. Maybe even a potted phoenix palm with some annuals around it. ❤
Plants above a seating area? Too messy when watering. Besides, there's a weight issue when soil is wet. A lightweight tapestry or painted canvas mural would be better.
You should add the fancy spacer jig for those who wouldn’t figure that part out. You did a fine job, but their right below, you need to finish the top and put in a vertical board to add stability and keep the boards from warping.
I love the simplicity of it. If I were to do this, I would've brought the slats halfway up, left a large gap to hang plants in baskets, and finished the top with 3 slats to balance the look of the bottom. That way, it wouldn't impede the breeze, it wouldn't look as foreboding as a solid structure, it would give me the opportunity to display something beautiful, and it'd still give me privacy from the neighbors' gaze.
She left plenty of room for plants to hang on the rest of the patio! And the breeze can still come through the gaps here since it’s not a solid wall. Could always put a climber on this though if she wanted to add something, but I think it’s perfect as is. Purely to give a bit of privacy 😉
You cannot paint pressure treated wood for a whole year it comes packed with moisture from the treatment process and will evaporate peeling all of your paint guaranteed. They are also going to corkscrew overtime without a center spine coming across the middle of the boards to hold them all true overtime. This will be a homeowner special in 9 months.
Alex is right (it’s something I learned the hard way). It does look great now, but give it a few months and you’ll be wondering what’s going on. Wish I had known this before I painted a fence I have. Many of the boards twisted up and pulled loose and I was totally flabbergasted as to why at the time. Something you learn as a homeowner. Hope this doesn’t happen to you. It’s not something you can “fix” unfortunately
If you seal both sides of the 1x2 material it’s a lot less likely to warp or twist as much since being sealed on both sides helps keep the moisture from getting in the wood. Problem usually worse when one side isn’t sealed, then it will warp and twist like crazy! Regardless the horizontal boards still aren’t a bad idea anyway. Give it more of a lattice look!
You also can plant some tall bushes close to the limit of your property, creating a green wall, in that way you do not need to limit your vision of your backyard.
Pressure treated wood has a high moisture content and needs to be dried before you paint it. Also, as those dry, there is a good chance they are going to warp. You don't need to use pressure treated wood if it's not going to come in contact with the ground. Regular wood and a finish is fine.
@Lisa Cunningham It wasn't my post but I'm a carpenter so I will answer.... When building in wood outdoors regardless of ground contact you either build in pressure treated wood, but you can't paint or stain for 3-6 months because of moisture content and aggressive off gassing.... Or you use non treated wood and you must stain or seal completely upon install especially with a UV block sealer
Oh gawd 🙄 it’s fine. You don’t know if she waited days in between buying the lumber and painting them. It’s not like she did this all in one day. She may HAVE waited a few weeks after buying them
I really like it. It's pretty easy to do I really like the idea. Thank you so much for your advice and the encourage. To do something for your own good, God bless you. ❤❤❤❤
I think it is a great idea and you did super on it! Love the color as well. My only rub was wishing there was one more piece at the top of the screen. It looks like a big gap 😅
Pretty cool but since you have no support in the middle it's going to sag with time. If you want to keep that look I would suggest going and getting a length of thin steel cable, anchor to that overhead rafter and then run it down to the bottom slat while attaching it to each slat along the way. Then tension the cable to prevent warping and sagging
The dance breaks are important... 😆 But as that damp, TREATED wood starts to dry and settle in, it's gonna curl away from those nail brads because they have no head. So you're gonna want to reinforce with 2 screws on each side of each board to keep them from lifting and peeling away from the poles. I used leftover drywall screws - 13 years in the Texas sun and still strong as Day 1.
Drywall screws are made of carbon steel and not coated, they will rust in a heartbeat. Furthermore treated lumber will accelerate the corrosion. Do youself a huge favor and triple coated deck screws and replace your drywall screws.
PRIMING wood, especially for outdoor applications, before finish paint color also does wonders for prolonging the life of a project, That paint is going to peel up faster than a sunburn.
Amazing job! I love the idea! Might have to do this for the south side of my back patio, not for privacy but rather as a windbreak. Kansas winds are NO joke.
It's quite beautiful! Great job on matching the color! I would have to take a pre- made lattice and paint it. And attach it to a frame if it needed to be temporary (as a renter would). Great job!
Great job on you DYI project for screen for your patio porch you did excellent job on it! Cozy look. I like it. Use of Home Depot. Material s and spray and paint as well . . Good investment on that screen also good for temperature modification as well . Save energy cool or warmth si that s helpful . And confinds sounds to porch area as well for more privacy . Made add plastic tarp on raining days and also to limit winds so it has support to keep tarp from flipping. Use of screw on Hook s to be able to put on and off tarp with circle ⭕ holes on tarp on top and on bottom .. so cool i love it! Sounds like funto make . Thank you for sharing . Improves space .
That’s really nice. And you could make it so many different colors. Glossy white would be pretty. Also if you make it sturdy you can hang plants on it. It’s look gorgeous and you get a ton of planting space
If you want to paint it right away you need to go to a lumber yard and get KDAT pressure treated, which is Kiln Dried After Treatment and is paint ready and won't warp.
The most important part, never paint lumber that have been treated with chemicals the first year. Let it go trough weather the first year before you paint it. The lumber is still wet in the stores and the paint will maybe scale off
she basically bought a big azz apartment, the only privacy she'll get is inside 😂😂, oh, and barely that, she better hope she keeps her window closed from the neighbors windows 😂
That is what I did with my nosy neighbor, but it turned out to be anything BUT free! We became great friends and now we go out to lunch together twice a week! lol
From one woman to another I’d suggest a vertical spine right down the center! I think you’re gonna have some problems real shortly with bowing & such otherwise! I’d get to that ASAP! Looks nice!
I did something very unusual with a privacy screen. My partner and I lived in a 3rd floor apartment with a balcony. Beyond our balcony was a parking lot, then a fairly dense copse of trees. We're amateur radio operators, and antennas in apartments are a problem. I had tried making what's called a "J-Pole" antenna for one of the bands I used the most out of copper tubing. Then I got a can of textured spray paint that almost exactly matched the color of the brick of the wall behind the antenna. You could not see that antenna at all from more than 5 feet away...but the downstairs neighbor would bang on his ceiling with a hammer every time I transmitted on it! Turns out the radio waves were radiating in all directions, including inside the building. They were coming across on the clock radio he had next to his bed, and he worked nights, so he slept in the daytime. Every time I transmitted, I woke him up! I didn't want to have him report me, so I gave away the J-Pole and built a different antenna. I got two matching garden privacy screens at the hardware store. They just fit on the sides of the balcony, and I zip-tied them to the railings. Then I made an antenna called a "Moxon Loop", for the frequency that was bothering the guy downstairs. I mounted it inside one of the privacy screens where it could not be seen from any angle. I tuned it up, and waited to see if the guy downstairs complained. A Moxon Loop has a nearly HEMI-spherical radiation pattern, so I set it up so the radio waves pretty much all went AWAY from the building, and almost nothing radiated TOWARDS the building. After a couple of weeks with no hammer banging on the floor below me, I declared victory! It had the side effect that we could sit on our balcony with privacy from the neighbors. They couldn't see through the wooden lattice of the screens, so win #2! The last win was to take a slingshot and fire a super-thin wire from our balcony into the trees across the parking lot, and hook it up to a tuner and a radio that can talk around the world, not just in the neighborhood. I contacted a lot of Western Europe with that antenna, and it was absolutely invisible against the sky, the wire was so thin! And because of the privacy screens, nobody could see that we had attached the wire to the balcony railing using a small wooden dowel as an insulator, tied to the railing with a piece of dental floss. We operated there for most of a year before we bought our house, and now it doesn't matter what kinds of antennas we use!
How did you slingshot the wire? Did you tie it to a bolt or washers or something on the end and launch that out there? I am a slingshot enthusiast and I love the idea of launching an antenna wire with it. Although, instead of launching into the trees, perhaps launching it up to the roof of my own building would have gotten better signal(?) perhaps. Does vertical vs. horizontal antenna make a difference in radio? I'm not sufficiently educated in this matter to know if my comment makes sense, and I want to learn. Hmm. I guess if you're on the 3rd floor it wouldn't be going that high, would it?
@@OhPervyOne Fishing sinker. For HF signals, a horizontal long wire or dipole is fine. An inverted-V dipole is even better because the ends lower than the center support affects the impedance, bringing it closer to the typical 50 ohm level. Polarization is only an issue in VHF and UHF signals. You want vertical polarization for them. But I have an HF antenna for 180-6 meters that's a vertical, and it works fine. But it had transformers built in that adjust the impedance of each band so the standing-wave ratio is acceptable. I actually need to build a new horizontal wire antenna. My old one was damaged by a truly epic wall of thunderstorms and wind a couple of months ago. It's no huge cost, I built it for only a few bucks anyway. I'll probably use better wire this time. I have a bunch of tinned copper stranded wire wrapped around a Kevlar fiber core and covered with a PVC jacket. It has an astounding tensile strength. If the balun at the house end is broken, that'll cost a bit more. I suspect one of the attachments to the balun broke off, and fixing that will put it back in service. Sorry for the technical babble, I've been building radios and antennas for going on 25 years.
@@JennyEverywhere the sinker seems like the perfect solution. Clamps on tight and flies right. That must have been fun. I'm okay with techno-bable. I learn more stuff by talking with people who know more than me. And anything I don't understand, I can look up. HAM is on my bucket-list. For emergencies, all I have is a pair of baofeng walkie-talkies. It'll have to do, for now. Thank you for interesting conversation.

I've have found sun screens are great for privacy as well ,I live in a condo and have 10 homes facing me with 3 more on side🙄 wow !❤ I love your place❤
That if it lasts that long. Wagners are shitty Chinese crap. Might as well throw it away after one use, cause you'll be damned to expect it to work after packing it away for sometime.
Tips: 1. For a cleaner look, put wood fillers along the crack lines 2. To avoid cracks when screwing, drill a pilot hole first 3. For those that have a table saw, joint the edges in some of those crooked planks to make them straighter 4. Use a primer
Today many paints contain primer and paint together. Your suggestions were good, but I don't think she was looking for perfection, just a quick project that matched the aged wood that was already in place.
Nice job! I would mention you have to be careful spraying outside. The spray can be carried by the wind to your neighbor's property and they are not always happy about that.
@@taraharvey8123 ...... I'm genuinely curious. Do you actually spray ANYTHING inside?? Like.... Regardless of the type of propelant used, I've never spray painted anything inside in my life.

That is awesome! Also now you can add some hooks to the center of your outdoor living space and put some hanging flower baskets to make it really cozy. Maybe even a potted phoenix palm with some annuals around it. ❤
You wouldn’t want to put any weight in that. She used finishing nails about as effective as a staple.
Never liked those makes look like trailer park
Plants above a seating area? Too messy when watering. Besides, there's a weight issue when soil is wet. A lightweight tapestry or painted canvas mural would be better.
You nailed it. Very very beautiful. I love the colors, the level of privacy is incredible.
You should add the fancy spacer jig for those who wouldn’t figure that part out. You did a fine job, but their right below, you need to finish the top and put in a vertical board to add stability and keep the boards from warping.
*they're right below* as in; they are. It's a contraction.
#yourewelcome
Beautiful. I am tired of lattice. You added to the value of your home.
Congratulations 🎊
Shout out to the person who helped evenly space each piece. Nice work. The view of the woodsy area looks great.
I just love how she knows exactly what she needs and knowledgeable on how to ...Thank you for sharing/teaching us😊
Awe so so welcome!!!
Not goona lie.... I'd add one more slat at the top but either way it's great
22 pieces of wood in 1 hr is impressive
Ignore the negative comments💜 And throw a few vertical ones to keep from warping. I LOVE IT💜
Your comment is 50/50 don’t act innocent.
I love the simplicity of it. If I were to do this, I would've brought the slats halfway up, left a large gap to hang plants in baskets, and finished the top with 3 slats to balance the look of the bottom. That way, it wouldn't impede the breeze, it wouldn't look as foreboding as a solid structure, it would give me the opportunity to display something beautiful, and it'd still give me privacy from the neighbors' gaze.
She left plenty of room for plants to hang on the rest of the patio! And the breeze can still come through the gaps here since it’s not a solid wall.
Could always put a climber on this though if she wanted to add something, but I think it’s perfect as is. Purely to give a bit of privacy 😉
I love it but I love the dance moves even more!! ❤
I found it disgusting. The dance.
I think you need to fit the final plank so it looks finished 😮
I came to the comments to say this. 100%
Hell nah, looks way better the way it is. If they finished it, it would look dumb af🤣🤣
Its for air flow 😂😂
Probably ran out of money, that's probably 200-300 dollars of material including the spray gun
Looks really nice, but that was the first thing I noticed 😊
You cannot paint pressure treated wood for a whole year it comes packed with moisture from the treatment process and will evaporate peeling all of your paint guaranteed. They are also going to corkscrew overtime without a center spine coming across the middle of the boards to hold them all true overtime. This will be a homeowner special in 9 months.
Alex is right (it’s something I learned the hard way). It does look great now, but give it a few months and you’ll be wondering what’s going on. Wish I had known this before I painted a fence I have. Many of the boards twisted up and pulled loose and I was totally flabbergasted as to why at the time. Something you learn as a homeowner. Hope this doesn’t happen to you. It’s not something you can “fix” unfortunately
Bummer
It’s amazing to see all these wooden fences, in my country houses mostly have brick wall boundaries
Alex Palette thanks for sharing that info. I want to do the same thing
I thought the same thing
Perfect..love it..especially because the neighbors can't complain how high you go..great job..keep it up😊
Before, your neighbours would glance to see everything, now they have to stare for a while at the backyard to see in between. Nice job!
Now put 1x2 vertical strips in to keep the 1x6 from warping horribly on that span.
Stoopid idea
@@Sh1tzboutagodown Well intelligence isn’t meant for everyone
@@Sh1tzboutagodown wrong, fktrd.
If you seal both sides of the 1x2 material it’s a lot less likely to warp or twist as much since being sealed on both sides helps keep the moisture from getting in the wood. Problem usually worse when one side isn’t sealed, then it will warp and twist like crazy! Regardless the horizontal boards still aren’t a bad idea anyway. Give it more of a lattice look!
I agree 👍
Also she needs one more 1x4 on the top
You also can plant some tall bushes close to the limit of your property, creating a green wall, in that way you do not need to limit your vision of your backyard.
yea depending on the HOA she could do pine trees next to each other. It creates a green wall you can’t see through at all.
Awesome! The privacy screen looks open and airy. Gorgeous patio.
That is a great paint sprayer, you can even see the wind. Plus no patchy spots either. Very smooth!
Neighbor-“ I’ve never looked at your backyard in my life” 😂😂
Super cute though!
I'M DEAD 😂😂

Pressure treated wood has a high moisture content and needs to be dried before you paint it. Also, as those dry, there is a good chance they are going to warp.
You don't need to use pressure treated wood if it's not going to come in contact with the ground. Regular wood and a finish is fine.
I was going to say this...... at least a few months between purchasing and painting or staining
Looks great
So weather, like rain, humidity direct sun hitting the non treated wood is fine? Just to clarify. The boards not hitting the ground?
@Lisa Cunningham It wasn't my post but I'm a carpenter so I will answer....
When building in wood outdoors regardless of ground contact you either build in pressure treated wood, but you can't paint or stain for 3-6 months because of moisture content and aggressive off gassing....
Or you use non treated wood and you must stain or seal completely upon install especially with a UV block sealer
Oh gawd 🙄 it’s fine. You don’t know if she waited days in between buying the lumber and painting them. It’s not like she did this all in one day. She may HAVE waited a few weeks after buying them
That looks great and so functional! I bet your patio is cooler now, too.
I really like it. It's pretty easy to do I really like the idea. Thank you so much for your advice and the encourage. To do something for your own good, God bless you. ❤❤❤❤
I think it is a great idea and you did super on it! Love the color as well.
My only rub was wishing there was one more piece at the top of the screen. It looks like a big gap 😅
Pretty cool but since you have no support in the middle it's going to sag with time. If you want to keep that look I would suggest going and getting a length of thin steel cable, anchor to that overhead rafter and then run it down to the bottom slat while attaching it to each slat along the way. Then tension the cable to prevent warping and sagging
that won't sag. it's not long enough to worry about.
The dance breaks are important... 😆 But as that damp, TREATED wood starts to dry and settle in, it's gonna curl away from those nail brads because they have no head. So you're gonna want to reinforce with 2 screws on each side of each board to keep them from lifting and peeling away from the poles. I used leftover drywall screws - 13 years in the Texas sun and still strong as Day 1.
Drywall screws are made of carbon steel and not coated, they will rust in a heartbeat. Furthermore treated lumber will accelerate the corrosion. Do youself a huge favor and triple coated deck screws and replace your drywall screws.
Magnificently done,sweety!!
PRIMING wood, especially for outdoor applications, before finish paint color also does wonders for prolonging the life of a project, That paint is going to peel up faster than a sunburn.
Don’t use drywall screws for anything other than drywall
drywall screws on an exterior wood job?.please ma'am stay focus on the kitchen you not belong to no even comment on a you tube video
I love what a difference this screen makes .
Amazing job! I love the idea! Might have to do this for the south side of my back patio, not for privacy but rather as a windbreak. Kansas winds are NO joke.
I was expecting screen mesh for the “privacy screen” but it looks good 😊
It's quite beautiful! Great job on matching the color!
I would have to take a pre- made lattice and paint it.
And attach it to a frame if it needed to be temporary (as a renter would).
Great job!
Great job on you DYI project for screen for your patio porch you did excellent job on it! Cozy look. I like it. Use of Home Depot. Material s and spray and paint as well . . Good investment on that screen also good for temperature modification as well . Save energy cool or warmth si that s helpful . And confinds sounds to porch area as well for more privacy . Made add plastic tarp on raining days and also to limit winds so it has support to keep tarp from flipping. Use of screw on Hook s to be able to put on and off tarp with circle ⭕ holes on tarp on top and on bottom .. so cool i love it! Sounds like funto make . Thank you for sharing . Improves space .
That’s really nice. And you could make it so many different colors. Glossy white would be pretty. Also if you make it sturdy you can hang plants on it. It’s look gorgeous and you get a ton of planting space
Looks beautiful and I agree with the comments that say to add at least one board down the middle to prevent bowing 👍
If you want to paint it right away you need to go to a lumber yard and get KDAT pressure treated, which is Kiln Dried After Treatment and is paint ready and won't warp.
Literally was thinking this too... 🤞
amazing how a thimble of paint will do both sides of 22 pieces of unprimed timber
Looks great!!! I like the patio setup too! Stay safe and keep building!😁
The most important part, never paint lumber that have been treated with chemicals the first year. Let it go trough weather the first year before you paint it. The lumber is still wet in the stores and the paint will maybe scale off
She will just have to spray her little heart out again. Lol
@@Robert-ko8fiCalm down, Bob.
@@Robert-ko8fi😅😂
Looks really great! It changes the whole feel of your outdoor space.
This is really cool but it’s the gap at the top for me 😂😂😂
?????
@@Lefishn think they mean it looks unfinished
I feel as though she did that on purpose... So it would be the same amount of space on top & bottom.
Just my guess though... 😉
I love how you totally understand the creative process! Keep at it, and your home will be transformed to a mansion in no time. Good job 👍
Nice to watch others work on their houses. Not something I see myself ever doing, but always up to learn something.
she basically bought a big azz apartment, the only privacy she'll get is inside 😂😂, oh, and barely that, she better hope she keeps her window closed from the neighbors windows 😂
❤ looks great!
Wave at your neighbors every time they look at you. Great way to insure your privacy and it’s free 😂
Oh no. Doesn’t work. Then they come over and want to tell you everything their kids are doing. No no no.
Lol. J/k. I love my neighbors.
That is what I did with my nosy neighbor, but it turned out to be anything BUT free! We became great friends and now we go out to lunch together twice a week! lol
Are you out of your mind?! Wave to a neighbor when you’re sitting outside is basically inviting them to come hang out with you.
@@tnijoo5109 and?
@@texasred2702 and then you’d probably have to move away to recover from the subsequent social interactions or get a prescription for Zoloft.
I did the same thing and in the warm months i hang pothos and other viney plants in pots to the wooden bars.
Makes it super pretty
From one woman to another I’d suggest a vertical spine right down the center! I think you’re gonna have some problems real shortly with bowing & such otherwise! I’d get to that ASAP! Looks nice!
This is the ONLY DIY I have seen here that looks at all like it was worth the effort and simple and had a pay off. Best DIY on the internet.
I did something very unusual with a privacy screen. My partner and I lived in a 3rd floor apartment with a balcony. Beyond our balcony was a parking lot, then a fairly dense copse of trees.
We're amateur radio operators, and antennas in apartments are a problem. I had tried making what's called a "J-Pole" antenna for one of the bands I used the most out of copper tubing. Then I got a can of textured spray paint that almost exactly matched the color of the brick of the wall behind the antenna. You could not see that antenna at all from more than 5 feet away...but the downstairs neighbor would bang on his ceiling with a hammer every time I transmitted on it!
Turns out the radio waves were radiating in all directions, including inside the building. They were coming across on the clock radio he had next to his bed, and he worked nights, so he slept in the daytime. Every time I transmitted, I woke him up! I didn't want to have him report me, so I gave away the J-Pole and built a different antenna.
I got two matching garden privacy screens at the hardware store. They just fit on the sides of the balcony, and I zip-tied them to the railings. Then I made an antenna called a "Moxon Loop", for the frequency that was bothering the guy downstairs. I mounted it inside one of the privacy screens where it could not be seen from any angle. I tuned it up, and waited to see if the guy downstairs complained. A Moxon Loop has a nearly HEMI-spherical radiation pattern, so I set it up so the radio waves pretty much all went AWAY from the building, and almost nothing radiated TOWARDS the building. After a couple of weeks with no hammer banging on the floor below me, I declared victory!
It had the side effect that we could sit on our balcony with privacy from the neighbors. They couldn't see through the wooden lattice of the screens, so win #2! The last win was to take a slingshot and fire a super-thin wire from our balcony into the trees across the parking lot, and hook it up to a tuner and a radio that can talk around the world, not just in the neighborhood. I contacted a lot of Western Europe with that antenna, and it was absolutely invisible against the sky, the wire was so thin! And because of the privacy screens, nobody could see that we had attached the wire to the balcony railing using a small wooden dowel as an insulator, tied to the railing with a piece of dental floss. We operated there for most of a year before we bought our house, and now it doesn't matter what kinds of antennas we use!
How did you slingshot the wire? Did you tie it to a bolt or washers or something on the end and launch that out there?
I am a slingshot enthusiast and I love the idea of launching an antenna wire with it. Although, instead of launching into the trees, perhaps launching it up to the roof of my own building would have gotten better signal(?) perhaps. Does vertical vs. horizontal antenna make a difference in radio?
I'm not sufficiently educated in this matter to know if my comment makes sense, and I want to learn.
Hmm. I guess if you're on the 3rd floor it wouldn't be going that high, would it?
I love this thread, we have a slingshot and radio enthusiasts😂
@@OhPervyOne Fishing sinker. For HF signals, a horizontal long wire or dipole is fine. An inverted-V dipole is even better because the ends lower than the center support affects the impedance, bringing it closer to the typical 50 ohm level.
Polarization is only an issue in VHF and UHF signals. You want vertical polarization for them. But I have an HF antenna for 180-6 meters that's a vertical, and it works fine. But it had transformers built in that adjust the impedance of each band so the standing-wave ratio is acceptable.
I actually need to build a new horizontal wire antenna. My old one was damaged by a truly epic wall of thunderstorms and wind a couple of months ago. It's no huge cost, I built it for only a few bucks anyway. I'll probably use better wire this time. I have a bunch of tinned copper stranded wire wrapped around a Kevlar fiber core and covered with a PVC jacket. It has an astounding tensile strength. If the balun at the house end is broken, that'll cost a bit more. I suspect one of the attachments to the balun broke off, and fixing that will put it back in service.
Sorry for the technical babble, I've been building radios and antennas for going on 25 years.
@@JennyEverywhere the sinker seems like the perfect solution. Clamps on tight and flies right. That must have been fun.
I'm okay with techno-bable. I learn more stuff by talking with people who know more than me. And anything I don't understand, I can look up.
HAM is on my bucket-list. For emergencies, all I have is a pair of baofeng walkie-talkies. It'll have to do, for now.
Thank you for interesting conversation.
Great job!!! And you have respect for you and us viewers who watch projects like this with our children. Keep up the amazing content and different ideas. I work all the time so everything I do involves my kids even watching short videos.
Might need to run one down the center. They are going to bow.
I've have found sun screens are great for privacy
as well ,I live in a condo and have 10 homes facing me with 3 more on side🙄 wow !❤
I love your place❤
Put up a beautiful fabric sheer, any color and that’s a finish. Even a sheer decorative paper is nice.
This is an inspiration. I want to do my patio but never did any work like that. I still may take a try.
Don't paint pt lumber until it has time to dry out. That can be a month or so.
I thought same thing. Like is she really painting this!?!?
When is it dry enough?
That is a beautiful way to get some needed privacy. Enjoy your upgraded patio! You could use the slats to put up art and plants if you wanted.
Glad you liked your sprayer, you'll be using it twice a year to repaint the pressure treated wood sloughing off the paint.
don't kill her perky enthusiasm with painting knowledge.
I was confused about that too. If you just paint wood, you don't need it to be pressure treated right?
That if it lasts that long. Wagners are shitty Chinese crap. Might as well throw it away after one use, cause you'll be damned to expect it to work after packing it away for sometime.
Im guessing that she didn’t buy pressure treated wood because the tag she showed was for 1x6’s 😂
@@acaciaaynbyrd6241 they were also pressure treated. ("PT" and "Weathershield" on the tag.)
SOUL AWESOME!!! 💕You Truly Inspired Me To Get It Done!!! 💕Blessings 😎💕🙏🏾💯👑
Tips:
1. For a cleaner look, put wood fillers along the crack lines
2. To avoid cracks when screwing, drill a pilot hole first
3. For those that have a table saw, joint the edges in some of those crooked planks to make them straighter
4. Use a primer
Today many paints contain primer and paint together. Your suggestions were good, but I don't think she was looking for perfection, just a quick project that matched the aged wood that was already in place.
Nice job! I would mention you have to be careful spraying outside. The spray can be carried by the wind to your neighbor's property and they are not always happy about that.
Yep...
That was my first thought when I watched her spraying outside!
🙄 Soooo much unsolicited advice. 🙄

If you like it, thats all that matters. Those boards will warp btw.
That patio as a whole looks very nice
That's nice! I live in an apartment so I would have to just make a frame, screw the 1x4's to that, and then fix the frame to the uprights. That way I only have to take down the frame instead of 24 boards.
You can screw it into supporting pieces of wood!
