I have just bought a property with a carport that extends into a "roofed" patio area where there is a Jacuzzi. My plan is to remove the horizontal impregnated boards and put panels between the posts. This is to block the wind that blows through .
The plan is to paint the panels, but I don't know what type of panels I need/should use, OSB or Plywood maybe...?
I will also move the Jacuzzi further "this way" now that I'm moving in to be able to build a wood-fired sauna at the far end of the patio, so the far wall will take care of itself in the future .
It is not built so smoothly that the distance between the boards is exactly the width of one board, so you can just fill in with pressure-treated wood in one side's "openings"?
No, unfortunately, it's not that smooth I had the thought, as you mentioned, of removing all the impregnated material and doing the entire wall in "pressure-treated" wood, but thought it would be unnecessarily expensive..

A cheaper alternative might be to keep the boards and place some form of wind barrier in between, probably nicest on the side facing the carport. In the upper parts, you can use regular simple window glass with the help of thin moldings, thus retaining a more airy impression.
Yes, that's a thought, but finding window glass in that size for so many "niches" for free might not be that easy, and if I have to pay for it, I think it becomes unnecessarily expensive Then I think it's best if I close it up because above the carport runs a small road, and that way I also avoid all visibility

Well, 22x95 mm decking at byggmax costs around 100 per square meter... OSB is about half, plywood about the same, but then you have to apply some form of surface treatment, which is guaranteed to last a shorter time than the pressure-treated wood...
Additionally, I thought it actually looked quite nice with the horizontal boards, a whole wall might feel a bit confined?
Well, then it's not that much more expensive and maybe worth it in the long run No, it probably won't feel enclosed since I have this view in the other direction... There will later be a glass railing

Ordinary single glass is cheap, under 200 SEK per niche I would think. Similar to plywood.

You have more boards there! Just move them when you put in the glass!
