what do I need to build this exact wall?

6 years ago

I’m going to make something like this to cover my air units. Just one sided like this. Can someone tell me what kind of lumber I would need? For every part Also mine will be 8 feet wide. Should I do two panels or would one be ok? Here is also a picture of my air units..thanks!

Many home improvement/hardware stores sell what you want, similar to a burger and fries combo, you can buy the materials by giving dimensions.

Take you image to your local store... Ypu don’t need the internet for this purchase.

Have you considered subscribing to a handyman or home improvement magazine. Maybe you could learn something, instead of having to ask for help.

Cypress or white oak would be good choices along with waterproof glue and stainless steel fasteners. Notice how few knots are showing in your picture and how nice that looks. Make the interior panels float and detail to not catch and hold rainwater please. You could span the panels 8' with no trouble.
