It’s not too windy to be outside when you have a windproofed outdoor living space!
Sometimes, Maryland has its windy forecasts. March is usually the windiest time of year, which is perfect for flying kites, but when you just want to sit and spend time in your backyard without your hair flying in your face and things falling off the table, you might want to know about these ways to windproof your backyard.
Privacy Fencing
A tall privacy fence can be a great way to block some of the wind that comes into your backyard. It can help shield you from windy weather, particularly if you are sitting below the top of it. A privacy fence can also help soundproof your property. Keep in mind that a fence cannot exceed six feet without needing a special permit in Maryland.
Privacy Screens
Perhaps a privacy fence would not be the best fit for your property. If you have a deck or patio, consider which direction the wind tends to blow through your yard. You can position a privacy screen so that you will stay shielded from the wind where it matters most.
Landscaping
Evergreen shrubs and trees can help block wind significantly. If they are evergreens, they will also provide privacy. You can plant shrubs, bushes, or trees along your fence, patio, or deck to give you the most natural wind protection possible.
Curtains
If you prefer to spend your time under a pergola or pavilion, then outdoor curtains can be a great solution for too much wind in your shaded outdoor living space. To prevent the curtains from billowing too much, you could secure the bottom corners to the pergola or pavilion posts as necessary.
Sliding Screened Porch Panels
Do you have a screened porch? A screened porch lets in the lovely breeze, but if it’s windy, it might be a bit much. Make yourself comfortable with Eze-Breeze Sliding Panels, rugged, vinyl-glazed windows that are custom-made for any screened porch. If these interest you for your Maryland home, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is happy to help make your outdoor living space a comfortable place to be.
