Whether constructing a new fence or putting in a screen, corrugated iron is the perfect choice for a contemporary look.
You will need:
Step 1
To provide shelter from high winds and privacy from neighbours, a framed corrugated iron screen is just the thing.
Step 2
To make the frames, measure the iron sheets then cut four corresponding lengths of fence capping for each panel (2 sides, 1 top and 1 bottom), cutting ends at a 45° angle.
Step 3
Paint the fence capping with Resene Waterborne Woodsman penetrating stain before assembling. Allow 24 hours to dry before applying a second coat. Allow another 24 hours to dry.
Step 4
Apply a coat of Resene Galvo-Prime to the iron panels. We've used new corrugated iron sheets. If using weathered sheets, prime with Resene Galvo One.
Step 5
When dry, apply two coats of Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Ebony Clay on both sides of the iron panels. Alternatively, use Resene Hi-Glo in Resene Ebony Clay for a glossy finish.
Step 6
When fence capping is dry, fix mitred corners with galvanised nails or screws. Leave one end of the frame open. Some adhesive on the mitred joints will make for a better connection.
