Privacy Screens for Decks and Pergolas
Good fences make for good neighbours… But when that’s not enough, a new privacy screen may do the trick.
An outdoor privacy screen or partition is a freestanding or integrated fixture that serves to shield your deck, porch, balcony, or pergola from the view of neighbours and passers-by. Whether you’re enjoying skyline views from your apartment balcony in the city or soaking up the sun on your deck in the ‘ Cape Town burbs, we make up privacy screens tailor-made to fit your needs.
Best part? As all our privacy screens are tailor made, they are equal parts fashionable and functional so you can keep prying eyes away from your outdoor space without sacrificing style.
If you are ready to invest in a screen for your home but unsure what kind of privacy screen will best serve your outdoor space? That’s where we come in. Below, we are breaking down four types of failproof outdoor privacy fixtures.
Types of Privacy Screens
Are you investing in a long-term privacy fixture for your outdoor space? Or are you in the market for a quick-and-easy seasonal fix that you can install and remove with minimal effort? There’s no wrong answer, but the best type and materials chosen to vary based on how long you plan to use your screen. Metal, wood, or composite privacy screens are all ideal for long-term use and fair much better with the Capes South Easters.
Determining the Location for Your Privacy Screen
Will your outdoor privacy screen be hard at work on a city balcony or a sprawling suburban patio or Deck? Different locales call for unique solutions, so keep that in mind while sifting through our selections below. Based on your location, consider the level of privacy needed (or desired) for that specific space. If you’re searching for a privacy screen that eliminates Nosy Nora’s view of your backyard, you’ll need to invest in a more solid privacy screen.
Creating a Cohesive Outdoor Space
Creating a cohesive, designer-inspired outdoor space requires attention to detail. Take your home’s architectural style and exterior finishes into account when deciding on your privacy screen. Choose a privacy fixture with a complimentary silhouette and colour story of your home to achieve a seamless, effortless result.
Metal Outdoor Privacy Screens
Privacy screens that double as outdoor art? Yes, please. Durable outdoor metal privacy screens bring form and function to your patio design. All our outdoor metal screens are crafted from laser-cut galvanized steel and finished with a scratch-, frost- and crack-resistant powder-coating infused with UV-inhibitors to reduce fading over time.
Wooden Outdoor Privacy Screens
Shield your deck, or pergola in style with a wood-crafted privacy screen or partition. Wood privacy fixtures offer a sense of permanence and security in your outdoor space unmatched by fabric shades or screens.
