For a natural-looking landscape on the balcony, around the terrace and in the garden, there are numerous types of privacy mats and awnings made of different synthetic fabrics in different shades of green to choose from. A privacy hedge or a blooming balcony border made of living plants offer even more naturalness.

Only high-quality material looks really natural

Artificial privacy screen with a natural look

With their eye-catching colors from lemon yellow to sunset orange, many types of privacy screens in specialist shops obviously want to spread Mediterranean flair and a cheeky, colorful holiday feeling next to the deck chair on the balcony or around the seating area on the terrace. For a somewhat more subtle and at the same time natural-looking look, there are also weather-resistant materials in a wide variety of green tones:

  • Fence panels made of fine mesh fabric (also commonly used on tennis courts)
  • Privacy fences made of narrow PVC strips
  • Side awnings as flexible privacy and wind protection
  • Fir-look privacy screens
  • Privacy nets with artificial ivy tendrils and leaves

Different types of hedges for the border of the property

For the outer border of a garden plot there are basically different options to choose from. In rural outdoor areas, where no neighbors feel disturbed by the height of the plants, trees can serve as privacy screens. Standard plants for easy-to-care-for privacy hedges are the various subspecies of arborvitae (plant genus Thuja), hedge beech, privet or the evergreen cherry laurel. Anyone who wants to have the green of the privacy hedge occasionally provided with striking splashes of color is better off planting flowering shrubs as privacy protection. With an appropriate climbing aid, climbing plants such as the decoratively flowering wisteria can also make it difficult to see your own property from the side.

Shield the balcony from prying eyes

Many people use their own balcony as a place to relax during the summer months when there is not enough time to visit the swimming pool or relax at the bathing lake. In order not to be stared at by neighbors and onlookers, a privacy screen can be added to an existing balcony cladding to ensure the desired privacy. Given the limited space available on a balcony, preference should be given to a natural or lively variant over a PVC privacy screen for aesthetic reasons. Many attractive blooming flowers are just the right height to shield prying eyes above the window boxes (€109.00) like a palisade and still not obstruct the view of the surrounding landscape like a wall.

Complete the pool and terrace with a decorative privacy and wind protection

In densely built-up residential areas, you can quickly feel like you're on display when you swim in your own pool in the summer and then sunbathe on the terrace. Planters with integrated climbing aids do in the garden what a room divider like a screen does indoors: you can position your privacy screen as you need it and green it with attractive climbing plants such as climbing roses or morning glory. As a pleasant side effect, these flexibly moveable plant pots not only protect you from looks after a swim in the pool, but also from the cold wind.

tips

A green privacy screen for the naturally designed garden can also be made relatively easily by yourself. Thin, straight branches of hazelnut bushes and willows are connected to each other like palisades (with wire or a cement base) and then overgrown by climbing plants such as the climbing nasturtium.
