We custom made these wood screens. We recommend using cement to secure the posts in the ground.

Agree with the cement suggestion. At least where we live (Canada) you need to install in concrete footings, within sonotubes (reaches below the frost line). This is an important requirement that surprisingly is quite often ignored for outdoor structures such as fences, or wind and privacy screens. Great looking idea btw!!

Beautiful! What kind of wood is this? Is it stained?

I have used cedar and treated pine in outdoor projects. I noticed that the cedar weathered to gray fairly quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to see the treated pine turn gray. It took a little longer. I have found treated pine to be cheaper and stronger than cedar. Recommend corrosion-resistant screws to combat warping.
