Privacy is a great thing. There is something human about privacy, and you should feel completely like a human being when you are in your own home, enjoying the peace and quiet on your backyard deck. Whether enjoying it alone or with friends and family, creating privacy on deck will make the experience all the better as you’ll be free from the fish bowl effect. Here are some excellent ways to create privacy on your deck. If you are ready to pursue your deck renovation or installation project, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is happy to help you in Maryland.

Tips for Creating Privacy on Your Deck

Install a Lattice Screen

One of the easiest ways to create privacy on your deck is to add a privacy screen. The lattice screen is very elegant and allows for ventilation as well. If a solid screen might block the airflow, then a lattice screen is the best option.

Install a Pergola or Pagoda with Curtains

Are you looking to add an outdoor living space? Add a pergola or pagoda on one side of your deck and add heavy, solid outdoor curtains to it. If you have one curtain panel drawn at all times, you can effectively have privacy on the rest of your deck from that side.

Landscape for Privacy

Use landscaping to your advantage. Plant evergreen shrubs along the path you want privacy. Unless you are very sociable with your neighbors, your neighbors might also benefit from the privacy. Everyone can sit in their backyards without overlooking each other.

Install a Privacy Screen with Horizontal Boards

Another classic privacy screen idea is fence-like in nature, but rather than vertical pickets for its panels, we have horizontal boards. This louvered design still allows some airflow and flexibility on windy days but is more private than lattice panels.

Create a Living Garden Wall

Are you an avid gardener? This could be your chance to build a vertical garden wall, a wall that is overflowing with lush, green plants and flowers. It will make quite the statement whenever you enter the backyard!
