Privacy screens for patios - 5 stylish options presented

A privacy screen for the patio doesn't have to look boring. On the contrary. There are really quirky yet stylish options out there. My top 5 presented here.

Looking for privacy[/caption]When the temperatures outside slowly get warmer and the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, many people move from the couch to the patio. It's better to relax in the fresh air between the rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the birds, isn't it?

But to be honest, how can you relax extensively when your neighbor is constantly looking over at you and possibly throwing the latest gossip and gossip stories in your face? No question - a privacy screen is needed so that you can find your peace and be able to sit undisturbed.

But what options do you have with a terrace? While the large garden offers quite a lot of possibilities (see 22 ideas in the picture gallery), it is not always easy with a terrace.

My top 5 best privacy screen options for terraces

1. Firewood privacy screen

Let's start with a variant that not only looks good but is also practical in the winter months - a firewood screen. It's really advantageous if you only have to go out on the terrace for a short time in the snow and mud to get the wood for the fireplace. When the stored wood is empty in spring, you can simply stack new ones in and then have a nice privacy screen again during the warm season.

For this privacy screen you first need a solid frame in which you can later stack and store the firewood. Simple boards, thick beams or Euro pallets are suitable for this. You are of course free to choose the size and design. If you want, you can also integrate small windows, peepholes or shelves. It loosens things up a bit and has a very special charm.

2. Privacy screen from old window shutters

A cozy oneCharacter has a privacy screen from old shutters with slats. You can fasten these between old beams, as in this example, to protect yourself from prying eyes from your neighbors.

Of course, shutters are not to be found everywhere. Keep your eyes and ears open. Sometimes old houses are demolished, where you could still use one or the other. You can also take a look at ebay.de and ebay-kleinwerbung.de from time to time. People often sell such treasures for a small dollar.

» Small disadvantage: Wooden privacy screens must of course be painted and treated regularly so that they still look pretty years later.

3. Large planters as a privacy screen

You prefer it simple and natural? Then plants in large decorative planters are definitely the right thing for you. I discovered such oversized planters, which you can also use as room dividers, at vivanno.de (see picture above). The advantage here is that these planters come with wheels, so you can easily move the bulky items around.

Your choice is yours when it comes to planting. Here not only flowers are magically staged, but also grasses and other plants.

» By the way: Don't worry - you don't have to fill the entire bucket with soil. Thanks to simple inserts, you not only save soil, but can also plant something new faster.

4. Bamboo mats as privacy screen

A privacy screen made of a bamboo mat is quick to implement and still chic. I found a large selection in different colors, sizes and lengths at noor.eu. These mats are not woven with wire, as is usual with classic models, but are pierced with a wire. Visually, it just looks better and neater.

You find the bare sight of the bamboo mats too sad and boring? Flower boxes and other small decorative elements spice up the privacy screen and create something for the eye.

5. Rustic Wall

A wall of ruins, which is only partially erected, is a bit more complex, but a gigantic eye-catcher. Of course, to get the rustic charm, you need old bricks. It's not that easy to get these days. If there is someone who wants to get rid of them, they often demand a steep price. butif you really want something, you also like to dig a little deeper into your pocket. You also don't get other stones for free.
