Plant wooden trellis - This is how you create a blooming privacy screen

So that you don't have to fear prying eyes in the garden, a privacy screen makes sense. How about a planted trellis, for example?

The garden should not only be a visual highlight. A garden should also serve to enjoy peace and quiet and to recharge your batteries. Of course, that doesn't work very well if you always have the feeling that you're being watched. This can be really annoying, especially on the terrace. After all, this is where you want to be able to sit in peace and enjoy your coffee. And sometimes in jogging pants and maybe even without being top styled.

In order to protect yourself from the prying eyes of the neighbors, it usually only helps if you integrate a privacy screen on the terrace. If you like it very natural, you are best advised to use a wooden privacy screen. But a simple wooden wall can look very boring. I can't see the usual hardware store range anymore either. I like a high-quality wooden trellis like the one I saw on Fassadengruen.de, for example. Made of very weather-resistant Bangkirai wood, held together with precious metal screws. If you plant such a trellis, you will soon have a natural privacy screen on the terrace that protects you from prying eyes.

Wooden trellis need some maintenance

You can certainly opt for a trellis made of metal or plastic. But wood fits best into nature. You also have to give each material a little care anyway. It's a bit more maintenance with wood, but it's usually a quick job. Especially if you choose a weather-resistant type of wood from the outset. Trellises made of larch, Douglas fir or the above-mentioned Bangkirai, for example, have a very high level of weather resistance. Other weatherproof types of wood include robinia, teak, azobé, balau and bamboo (source: hausjournal.net).

Nevertheless, you have to take care of the wood every year and renovate the trellis. And this is best done in late autumn when you have to cut back the plants on the trellis anyway. Remember:

Impregnation glazes annually
Thin layer glazesevery 3 years
Thick layer glazes every 5 years
covering coatings every 7 years

Apply

. If you stick to it, you will enjoy the blooming privacy screen for a long time.
