How to attach slatted panels on to the fence

Page 1 of 1
Hi folks,

I bought a couple of vertical slatted timber panels that I was planning to attach on to the fence to make the boring fence a bit nicer.
I was planning to add/screw 3 rails 70 x 35mm timber to the existing posts and screw the panel on the new rails.

Looking at the panels, the gap between each slat is 5mm and I don't think there is any galvanised timber screw long enough with a head max 5mm. my original plan was to screw the panels into the rails between the slat to hide the screws.

Any ideas? is there any thin screw I can use between the slats? or any other way you recommend to attach these panels?

Thanks
