In a world that is noisy, busy, and often nosy, there can be nothing better than relaxing in your back garden. But sometimes, in built-up areas, there can be windows facing directly into your garden.
Perhaps you want to sunbathe in peace, read a book or have dinner with friends – without the potential of spectators. But, your garden is unlandscaped and doesn’t offer much in the way of privacy.
So, what type of things can you consider to give yourself the privacy that you deserve in a world where everyone and everything is available for viewing?
Fencing
Changing the height of your fencing is one of the fastest ways to offer more privacy from those on either side of you, but after that, what can you do? Privacy panels can be added a little higher or at an angle that offers some extra privacy.
They usually aren’t solid; instead, they will still offer you the sunshine, but without a full view for outsiders.
You can have a chat with a fence company and discuss all of your options. The materials are an essential factor to consider during this process because they affect efficiency, aesthetics, and costs. Nowadays, many homeowners tend to view these wood fence styles because they find them to be a great match for their outdoor décor. Doing research on the top materials you can use will help you find the most suitable one for your fence.
Enclosures
If you don’t need privacy in the whole garden but just wish to create a secluded area, then an enclosure can be the ideal compromise.
Using a smaller garden area, you can create an outside room with 2,3, or 4 sides. Rather than using solid bricks – although you can, you could also use fencing panels or trellises with climbing plants.
When you decide on an enclosure, you will be creating a space within a space. It can have a unique feel and have cozy seating, a firepit, a parasol, a hammock – anything you want!
Screens
Screens can be an ingenious option and cost-effective too. Screens take up less room than creating an enclosure and are often less costly than referencing the entire garden.
The screen could be wooden, stone, or metal – and will be positioned through the space so that they are not intrusive – and you get the privacy you want. Combining the screens with hedges, shrubs, trellis, and other decorative plants will mean that it adds something to the garden’s aesthetic.
Pergola
The wooden beams of a pergola with the addition of screens can give you the choice of how private you want to be and has the added bonus of offering shade in the summertime.
Attaching a curtain rail and outdoor curtains can be a great DIY project, although there are pergolas that are designed with beams or hooks to attach curtains to.
Parasol
Investing in a very large parasol can offer you privacy in the daytime, and it isn’t a permanent fixture. This means you can change its location; you can have it up or down and even pack it away, depending on the size.
There are many options. Some are permanent, and others can be moved and used when you want to. Privacy in your garden can mean that you get some real R&R in your own space – and you never have to think about people peering in!
