Either way, you'd need a post each side. You can construct it as a gate, hinged at whatever side is best for opening, or use those brackets you can get for slotting in fence panels between posts. One each side top and bottom, and it could easily be lifted out if it's just that lightweight woven stuff. It would probably need a batten attached to the woven hurdle, top and bottom though, so that it fitted snugly. If you do it as a gate, you can have the bolt on the top, with a hole in the post rather than a keep, instead of having those handles/latches. I was fed up replacing them on my back gate, every time there was a gust of wind and it broke them when the gate blew shut, especially with workmen constantly leaving them open Both of those solutions would mean both sides could access it if needed.

Thankyou - this is very useful. (I like the comment about workmen constantly leaving the gate open! Ive experienced this many times myself!)
Me and my neighbour only need occasional access (perhaps twice a year) so something that can be lifted and moved is adequate rather than anything hinged.
No - those in your link are for putting in posts. The brackets I meant are three sided - like a square with one side missing, around a couple of inches in height, with the middle section being the width of the fence panel. The middle section gets screwed to the posts, and the other two sides would normally be screwed to each side of the fence panels - usually the top and base because they're wider. For your scenario, you'd just screw onto the posts, 1 top and bottom at each side, and the screen would slot in.
That should do the job If you were concerned about manoeuvring it at full size, you could cut it in half, but you'd need more brackets, and horizontal battens, just to make sure it was solid enough.

Now that I've seen the photos I think @Fairygirl's suggestion, maybe hinged on one side as @Uff suggests will work best.

Can I ask: what do you mean by "... brackets you can get for slotting in fence panels between posts". Do you mean something like https://www.screwfix.com/p/sabrefix-fence-post-spike-100-x-100mm-2-pack/27750 ?

Found this, which might make it clearer!

There are other outlets online too, and different sizes
