LOOKS AND LONGEVITY OUTDECO’s modular screens offer good looks, longevity and versatility. Screens can be adapted to any purpose: think partitions, arbours, gateways, fencing and bench boxes. Also think decorative panelling to dress up or mask a dull garden wall, or screening to conceal a shed, water tank or pool equipment. Made in Australia from compressed hardwood board, OUTDECO screens can be easily framed or finished in various ways. They can also be painted any colour you like, sealed with decking oil or left to weather naturally, so no matter what the style of your project, there’ll be a finish and pattern to suit. Pictured here is the Mahjong screen. outdeco.com
