If you want to build some short term privacy ,about 15ft wide ,,where a huge huge 40yr maple tree is near what is the best method to use for supporting it ? I made some 5 ft by 8 ft dogear panels -3 . I dont want to even think of the huge extremes of roots there..It wont be up in 2 years so I dont need it long term. Just looking for some ideas for what can work for a few years..to support them Most builds are long term,permanent with concrete , ,or for a client ,etc....but this wont be..I just want temporary privacy . I have a deck on other side of area so i can use the 4by4s from there for some stability. An the tree some.. Again just looking for some ideas for temporary support Steel rebar? those 4by4 supports you pound in ...the 12 inch concrete platforms with 4by4 supports in middle , , other options? Thanks

Father house, deck has lasted 25 years, the siding hasn't. His/my plan is to have the siding cut in a horizontal line above the rot, reflash, install z flashing, replace siding below, reinstall deck (fixing various other issues). Maybe 1-2 " of "new" siding will be visible after deck boards are reinstalled. Deck needs to go next to siding otherwise junk will accumulate in gap and below. So what is the best way to prevent siding from being compromised again?
