Garden screens are a versatile solution for adding privacy, defining zones and enhancing the look of your garden. Whether you want to block out neighbouring views, hide functional areas or introduce vertical interest, screens offer a practical and attractive finish.
Garden screens are used to add privacy, create visual separation and enhance garden design. They’re also useful for supporting climbing plants or disguising less attractive areas of the garden.
You can screen off part of a garden using freestanding garden screens, trellis panels or fixed privacy screens. These are ideal for creating separate zones, such as seating areas or play spaces, without the need for permanent fencing.
Garden screens are an effective way to reduce overlooking from neighbouring properties. Positioning screens along boundaries or near patios helps create a more private and comfortable outdoor living space while still allowing light through.
A garden shed can be screened using decorative panels or trellis placed in front or to the side of the structure. Adding climbing plants to the screen can help it blend naturally into the surrounding garden.
In most cases, garden privacy screens can be up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Height limits can vary depending on placement and local regulations, so it’s always worth checking before installation.
Garden screens are usually installed by fixing them to posts, walls or fences using suitable outdoor fixings. Ensuring the screen is level and securely anchored helps maintain stability, especially in exposed areas.
