The Best way to Create Privacy on a Patio

Creating privacy on a patio is essential for enjoying your outdoor space without distractions. Privacy screens and fences are excellent solutions, offering a blend of functionality and style.

Wood Privacy Screens

A wood privacy screen provides a timeless, natural look that enhances the aesthetics of any patio. These screens are crafted from locally sourced from the pacific northwest, durable wood, blending into the outdoors.

Benefits of Wood Privacy Screens

  • Privacy and Security: Block unwanted views and secure your space.
  • Natural Aesthetics: The warm tones of wood create a welcoming space.
  • Durability: With proper care, cedar wood screens last for up to 15-40 years.
  • Sound Insulation: Helps reduce noise from surrounding areas.
  • Customizable Finish: Can be stained or painted to match your decor.

Maintenance Tips

Wood screens require occasional staining or sealing to protect against weather elements. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appeal​.

Hideaway Screens

Hideaway screens, typically made of aluminum, offer a sleek, modern alternative to wood. They are lightweight and designed to provide privacy without obstructing airflow or natural light.

Advantages of Hideaway Screens

  • Durability: Resistant to rust and corrosion, ideal for all weather conditions.
  • Enhanced Ventilation: Allows air circulation while maintaining privacy.
  • Noise Reduction: Helps minimize outdoor sounds.
  • Energy Efficiency: Blocks direct sunlight, keeping your patio cooler.
  • Custom Sizing: Tailored to fit any space perfectly.

Low Maintenance

Aluminum screens require virtually no upkeep, making them a hassle-free option for busy homeowners​​.


Composite Privacy Screens

Composite screens combine the natural beauty of wood with the durability of synthetic materials. Made from recycled wood fibers and plastics, they are an eco-friendly and stylish choice.

Why Choose Composite Screens?

  • Eco-Friendly: Manufactured from sustainable materials.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires little more than occasional cleaning.
  • Stain and Insect Resistant: Highly durable against wear and tear.
  • Natural Appearance: Mimics the look of wood without the need for staining.

Long-Lasting and Versatile

Composite screens resist fading and moisture, making them ideal for areas exposed to sunlight and rain​​.

Incorporating Privacy Fences

If you prefer a more permanent solution, privacy fences can be installed to create a secluded patio. Materials such as cedar, vinyl, and metal are our recommended choices.

Material Options

  • Cedar Fences: Offer natural beauty and excellent durability but require regular staining and sealing​.
  • Vinyl Fences: Nearly maintenance-free, they resist mold and mildew, making them ideal for wet climates​.
