There are many reasons why people build fences but privacy is probably the most common motivation for building a fence. Here at Fence Corp, as one of Brisbane’s largest independent fencing contractors we specialise in robust aluminium garden fencing, glass fencing perfect for the pool as well as automatic driveway gates.
Often when it comes to fencing, many people want the benefits of privacy without feeling completely closed in. This rules out many fence options including Colorbond, Solid Timber and Vinyl fences. Usually there are certain areas of our home where we require extra privacy including such as outdoor patios and front porches, but these same people don’t always require a complete perimeter fence surrounding the property.
If you want the benefits of privacy that comes from a fence, without feeling completely closed in and at a fraction of the cost, strategically placed privacy screens could be the solution for your home!
How can privacy screens be used?
As you’d expect, privacy screens can be used to shield you from neighbouring homes, or from the footpath and street. They are best used in outdoor seating areas, porches and patios but can be used to partition or section off different areas of an outdoor space to create separate areas. Maybe even a dedicated area for that gym equipment! The gaps between slats mean that natural air and light still passes through when compared to that enclosed feeling you can get from solid walls and fences.
Privacy screens can also be effectively used to screen off any equipment or items that you’d rather not look at. This includes the pool pump, garbage bins, and air conditioning units.
How much privacy do they provide?
The great news is as little or as much as you’d like! With privacy screens you can choose the spacing between slats to set the width of the gaps as you best see fit. There are even adjustable louver privacy screens allowing you to control your outlook as you angle the slats to best suit the time of day, and the level or privacy you require.
When you want the privacy of a fence, without the cost and imposing nature of boundary fencing, privacy screens could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
