These decorative exterior screens are about 15 years old and have rusted badly. They came originally from Target and were about $100 each. I can't find anything to replace them with that doesn't cost $400+. Any ideas?

Are they structurally ok? They look great there! I'd be buying a wire brush and a few cans of rustoleum spray paint and restoring those if I could! | |||

No, not structurally sound. The bottom pieces have rusted through and on the right hand one the bottom piece is pretty much gone. I could have them fixed and powder coated but even that will cost more than I paid for them new. Part of the reason I am having trouble finding them is I don't know what to call them as far as searching.

Re what to call the, probably not screens (I associate that to something with ... screens like on a window?) Gate? Partition? Metal fencing? Decorative gate? What if you googled ... what, gardening plus gate?

Trellis! I wouldn't describe Steve's "screens" as a trellis, but I bet you get some good options by searching for that.

In the mid- to hi-$200s at Wayfair. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoo...91-a47749~35996.html Can you suspend it, or does it have to be freestanding? https://www.hayneedle.com/prod...ivacyscreenpanel.cfm

"Metal Privacy Screen" seems to be the ticket. They're 42" wide and 70" tall. Lots to choose from now, but not inexpensive.

You know any welders who could make one for you? No idea what that would cost though. | |||
