There are now many different types of privacy screens, each with their own specific advantages and disadvantages. However, only some of the many types of privacy screens are suitable for the decorative creation of privacy on a terrace.

Bamboo mats are a beautiful, natural option for patio privacy

Bamboo, grasses and other plants in planters

For privacy protection on a terrace, there are countless variants of fabric awnings or plastic tarpaulins that can be stretched along the side of a terrace. However, these are often perceived as aesthetically disturbing factors in a naturally designed garden. In such a case, it makes sense to use a green privacy screen to protect privacy when sunbathing on your own terrace. This works particularly well if the plants are not simply planted in the ground next to the terrace. Ideally, long, narrow plant troughs should serve as a location for possible variants of a living privacy screen:

  • bamboo
  • various ornamental grasses
  • Bulb flowers like gladioli
  • climbing artists like nasturtiums

Climbing plants against gusts of wind and prying eyes

Evergreen climbing plants such as ivy are usually very suitable for greening a fence grid that is in partial shade or shade within a few years. A simple fence on the side of a terrace quickly becomes an effective privacy screen against prying eyes from the neighbors. The pleasant side effect: Despite the natural look, such a privacy screen made of densely grown climbing plants, similar to a wooden wall, offers relatively good protection against cool, lateral gusts of wind.

Use the firewood as a privacy screen

A good privacy screen should not only be decorative and inexpensive, but perhaps also be advantageous from a functional point of view. If logs are used for heating in the house or in the fire bowl on the terrace anyway, the storage space for this wood can perhaps be reconciled with the desire for an attractive privacy screen that looks as natural as possible. However, you should make sure that there is always enough distance between an open fire on the terrace and the privacy screen made of stacked firewood. In addition to the possible flying sparks, the dry logs should also be protected from moisture with a sufficiently wide roof. With such a wooden wall made of logs, you can enjoy a real hut feeling from an aesthetic point of view.

tips

If raised beds are cleverly placed next to a terrace, growing vegetables can also provide the desired privacy on the terrace. In addition, pending maintenance work on the raised beds can be done at any time without having to walk long distances through the garden.
