Workshop plan
Step-by-step instructions
1
Step 1
Lay out the screen width and height so it does not block heating registers, windows, or egress.
2
Step 2
Cut vertical slats and two stable rails, sanding the front edges before assembly.
3
Step 3
Space slats with a physical spacer, screw them into rails from the back, and keep screw tips fully buried.
4
Step 4
Add wide feet or a rear brace so the screen cannot tip when lightly bumped.
5
Step 5
Finish in place, position it away from cords and heaters, and secure only if the lease permits a reversible anti-tip method.
Safety check
A tall screen can tip. Use wide feet, keep it away from heaters, and use a permitted anti-tip method if children or pets are present.
