Some types of privacy screens do serve their purpose and shield your own garden paradise from the prying eyes of the neighbors, but at the same time stone walls and structural fabric made of durable plastics often act like a quite restrictive boundary of your own garden. With creatively inspired ideas for an original privacy screen, a timeless, beautiful privacy screen can not only fulfill its purpose functionally, but also give the entire garden an individual and extraordinary touch, both inside and out.

Climbing plants protect against prying eyes and create a romantic atmosphere

Not intended for eternity and nevertheless (or precisely because of this) decorative

Sometimes the loveliest ideas for garden design are those whose look suggests a certain closeness to the original nature and which are not designed to be durable and unchangeable for decades. Just as nature in the wild is subject to constant change even without human influence, this constant ability to change can also find expression in your own garden. Get creative and craft a quite irregularly shaped trellis out of finger-thick hazelnut rods or other reasonably straight branches at the point chosen for a privacy screen. You can connect them to each other with wire, for example. You can also stick wooden sticks a few centimeters into the ground and weave flexible, thin branches horizontally between these vertical wooden elements. Then sow the seeds of the following annual climbing plants:

  • sweet peas
  • morning glory
  • One-Eyed Susan
  • Climbing nasturtium

These blooming screen plants climb up your trellis within a few weeks and attract insects such as bees and butterflies to the garden with their fragrant flowers.

Use handicraft materials from trips into nature

Basically, it should be noted that when collecting natural materials, one must always pay attention to the respective nature conservation regulations, special protected areas or the export regulations of a country. Apart from that, it can be a very formative experience, especially for children, to collect particularly shaped pieces of root, small shells or beautifully shaped stones from the bed of a dried-up mountain stream on hikes and excursions with the family and to use them later for garden design ideas. Charming works of art can be created from a wooden privacy screen, which remind young and old of many beautiful shared experiences over the years right behind their own house.

A beautiful privacy screen made from willow cuttings: creative and uncomplicated

Do you perhaps know a garden neighbor who has several mature specimens of wicker in his garden? Sometimes these willows also grow at the edge of streams and cuttings may be cut in consultation with the property owner. The freshly cut rods are simply stuck on the spot at least 15 cm deep into the ground, where a beautiful privacy screen with a natural character is to be created. The willow cuttings usually root easily within a few weeks, provided the location is not too dry. In the spirit of child-friendly garden design, igloos, Indiander tents or interwoven walls made of willow cuttings can be created.

tips

There are hardly any limits to the imagination when designing different privacy protection ideas in the garden. However, you should absolutely comply with the distance areas and maximum heights prescribed in your federal state in the area of the border to the neighboring property.
