Privacy protection in the garden: 22 clever ideas & suggestions

There are areas in the garden where you just want to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet and not necessarily be seen by the neighbors or strangers. Therefore, many integrate a privacy screen in their garden. If you are still looking for a suitable solution for your garden, let yourself be inspired by our 22 clever ideas.

1Floating plants through a mesh fence

If you want to relax in the garden and feel completely unobserved, a planted lattice fence is the right choice. You can't actually see the fence itself. It seems more like the creeper is floating in the air.

2Clever: use firewood storage as privacy screen

If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, you usually also have a firewood store in your garden. Just kill two birds with one stone and use this warehouse as a privacy screen.

3Round wood privacy screen with peephole

Of course you can also just take a couple of logs and use them to conjure up a stylish privacy screen. A few peepholes loosen up the whole thing.

4Plain and simple: privacy screen made of wooden slats

Also great as a privacy screen, but still airy in design, is a privacy screen made of wooden strips.

5For hobbyists: build a wicker fence as a privacy screen

The wicker fence is a true classic among privacy screens. In addition, it is very easy to make yourself. You can see instructions for this here, for example.

6Planted Wicker Fence

If a wicker fence alone is too boring as a privacy screen, you can also embellish it with a few plants. Here you can take whatever you like. No matter whether hedge plants or flowers.

7The classic: using a hedge as a privacy screen

Speaking of hedges: Of course, a hedge is also a good privacy screen. It grows nice and dense and doesn't let anyone look through.

8For creative minds: privacy thanks to large plant figures

If a hedge is too easy for you,he can also conjure up large figures from densely growing hedge plants such as boxwood. Due to their size and dense growth, they are also ideal as privacy screens. They are also real highlights in the garden. So here you kill two birds with one stone again.

9 Also fend off prying eyes: grasses

Grasses are also very suitable as privacy screens. It is best to combine ornamental grasses of different heights. Chinese reed, pampas grass, bamboo, love grass and zebra grass, for example, look very beautiful.

10Beautiful privacy screen: pergola planted with wisteria

To protect yourself from prying eyes, you can also plant a pergola with wisteria. Prying eyes don't stand a chance due to the hanging flowers. All others can see are beautiful blue blossoms.

11Use planters as privacy screens

Properly positioned, several large planters can also be a good privacy screen. The good thing: you can always put other plants in the tubs, depending on your mood. Large flower pots are available e.g. on Amazon.

12Suitable for the Asian style: privacy screen made of bamboo sticks

If you have an Asian-style garden, you can also build a screen out of bamboo sticks. It's quick and easy.

13Use wooden slats as privacy screen

Here too we have a real classic among the privacy screen elements: we are talking about the wooden slat field. A classic because they come in a wide variety of designs and that's why they're still so popular.

14Curtains can also be used as privacy screens

If you have a gazebo in which you don't want to be seen from time to time, simply equip it with curtains. So you can decide for yourself when you want to be seen and when not.

15Garden pavilion offers all-round protection

Anyone who doesn't like to have their plate looked at while eating is well advised to use a garden pavilion with closed sides. Here you don't have to worry at all that someone will see you in sweatpants.

16Modern: Glass privacy screen

A privacy screen can of course also be made of glass. It may sound a bit strange, but the glass doesn't have to be transparent. Frosted glass, for example, looks very good and protects againstprying eyes.

17For rustic gardens: a fieldstone privacy wall

If you like it rustic, this variant might be something for you: a privacy screen made of field stones. Although it looks very bulky, it is still beautiful to look at.

18Planted privacy wall

If the previous variant is a bit too "massive" for you, you can of course loosen it up a bit. For example with flower pots that you attach directly to the wall. That looks great, doesn't it?

19Current trend: privacy wall made of gabions

Gabions have been an absolute hit in recent years. So why not use them as privacy screens? The great thing is that you can fill them with a wide variety of materials. For example with colorful glass chunks. That looks really great.

20Gables and hedge as a privacy screen combination

You can also combine individual gabions with hedge plants. That loosens things up a bit.

21Raised beds can also serve as privacy screens

Let's stick to the stones. Of course you have another option here. You can also use raised beds to protect individual areas in the garden from the eyes of others. The bed doesn't even have to be that high. However, the plants should have a certain height. For example, here are instructions on how to build a gabion raised bed.

22Extravagant: Use a waterfall as a privacy screen

This is an extravagant, but still very nice privacy screen idea. We're talking about a waterfall. If you already have a garden pond, you can easily expand it and make part of the garden "invisible".
