How to build shutters?

Shop thrift stores or yard / rummage sales for wooden slat type blinds. They’ll make a good source of material. Take apart and build to your requirements.

Super easy I’d use fence pickets. Let me send you a photo I did some that slide inside my laundry room. I only used fence pickets and 1x3. I cut them to the length I desired and glued them side by side and used a clamp and bunch of heavy paint cans on top so they didn’t bow and bend. Trimmed them with the 1/3.

This reminds me I need to post my project to Hometalk maybe it will help you.
