Privacy screen repaired after the families dog breaks through.
For these Northern Beaches homeowners, their German Shepherd’s nosy habit of spying on the neightbours, caused some unexpected damage.
The dog had been standing up against the horizontal timber privacy screen at the end of their patio. Over time, the pressure from the dog’s paws cracked and broke several slats.
Restoring privacy to the screen.
The homeowners contacted Peter to assess and repair the damage. Fortunately, the main frame and support posts were still solid and didn’t need replacing. Only the horizontal timber slats had been broken.
To restore the screen, Peter sourced matching timber, cut it to size, and repainted the slats in the same white finish to blend in seamlessly.
Once the paint had dried, he reinstalled the new pieces and reinforced the screen, leaving it looking as good as new.
A simple repair with a big impact:
- Match and replace the broken timber slats
- Cut new timber slats to size.
- Repaint new slats for a seamless finish.
- Affix the new slats in place.
Peter delivered a fast, tidy, and cost-effective repair, restoring privacy, without the need to rebuild or replace sections that were still in great condition. This is a great example of how small repairs can make a big difference, especially when done with care and attention to detail.
