    Default Screen out of mod wood

    Hi i need to build a screen across my back yard wich is approx 20 mtrs wide

    I want to screen a large 25000 lt water tank, clothes line and shed

    i have installed some 75 x 75 x 2.5 gla post at 1200 mm apart

    I am thinking of laying some 68 x 17 mm modwood slats on it

    I intend to plant some shrubs in front of the screen to soften it down a bit, so this will make it hard to keep up its apperance with oil etc on it, so i think using timber is not a good idea.

    So i was thinking of using modwood for the slats in a redish colour.

    Has anybody had any experiance with this material, does it sag and what type of screws do you use to fix it to the gal post

    any info would be appreciated

    On the website they say it can sometimes deflect a bit between the posts and there are photos of this there. I would never use the stuff for decking but have no hesitation using for a screen (bit pricey initially but no maintenance later). It can be fixed with nails or screws and here is the link to the specs on their website: Specifications - ModWood
