Deck Privacy Ideas for a Perfectly Secluded Outdoor Retreat
An outdoor retreat should be just that—a retreat that enables you to relax and enjoy a little peace and quiet. Let’s explore a few deck privacy ideas to help you achieve a level of privacy that’s right for you.
Deck Privacy Ideas and Design for Back Porches
Trees, Shrubs, and Plants for Deck Privacy and Protection
Trees and shrubs are a natural way to screen your backyard. Evergreens such as Leyland Cypress and Thuja Green Giants are lush and fast-growing. Consider planting several small trees or plants around your existing fence, deck’s edge, or deck railing as they offer leafy outdoor curtains. Plus, depending on the species of plant(s) or tree(s), they also give a seasonal fragrance and color.
Covering Your Deck for Privacy
A great way to protect yourself and guests from the summer heat is to cover your deck. Did you know a privacy fence or a deck privacy wall is the most common way to block a view of your deck or patio? Most importantly, a covered deck extends the life of your outdoor furniture and reduces summer cooling costs.
Deck Screens and Fencing to Protect and Shade Outdoor Space
There are options galore to match your garden design, gate, pool area, or other parts of your outdoor spaces. We’ll help you choose or create a design that will best complement your home and outdoor space. Think about screen ideas that would work best with your outdoor space. A privacy screen, such as a custom lattice design, can help ensure air movement and feel soothing on a warm summer day. A shadowbox offers a modern look that combines the best aspects of a picket fence and a privacy fence.
Additional Deck Design Options
Are you looking to make your outdoor living space a focal point? You may even wish to add an arbor, pergola, or trellis overhead if your space is lower than the neighbors’ view — or simply for more shade. Whatever level of protection you desire, Atlanta Decking & Fence’s expert team of designers and builders will create something customizable for you.
