STEP ONE
Measure and cut the plywood into 3 pieces that will be 16″ x 96″ long. Use a straightedge to assist in cutting the panels in a straight line with your circular saw. Clamps will be helpful in holding the straightedge in place. Use a circular saw (also known as chop saw) to cut the panels.
Create a template using a piece of scrap cardboard to your desired shape for the top of the screen panels. Trace and cut out the template.
STEP TWO
STEP THREE
Trace the template pattern onto the plywood. Use a jigsaw and follow the pattern on the plywood to cut to size.
Choose how tall you would like your folding rattan privacy screen. Then, measure and cut to 66 1/2″ which we found to be a great height for the screen. Sand rough edges with 60 grit paper.
STEP FOUR
STEP FIVE
Next cut six wood strips to measure 66″ long. Cut twelve pieces to measure 13″ long.
Layout the cut strips on the plywood to help visualize how the panel will look. Then, paint all of the wood strips.
STEP SIX & SEVEN
STEP EIGHT
The plastic rattan comes in rolls which you’ll want to unroll. Place the rattan on top of one panel, making sure that it fully covers the panel. Then, cut to size. Next, trim the side of the rattan so that the width is slightly less than 16″.
Spray adhesive glue onto the plywood using a light touch. Immediately affix the rattan in place. Spray glue dries very quickly!
STEP NINE
STEP TEN
Place wood strips on top of the rattan, including the interior strips. Attach with a nail gun or small finish nails. If you wish to finish off the back side, a piece of fabric can be applied.
