Outdoor privacy screen styles and panel counts
An outdoor privacy screen comes as one panel or several, and some designs use slats for a lighter look. Choose a single panel to hide a spot such as an air conditioner, or a multi-panel screen to close off a longer stretch of seating.
Slatted styles let air through while still blocking direct views. Panel screens suit a balcony, a hot tub corner or a spot beside a door where you want a quiet place to sit without building a fence.
Patio privacy screen sizes
A patio privacy screen that stands 72 inches tall is higher than most people, so it blocks views from standing height. Sized models here measure 46 to 61 inches wide, and the shortest base depth is 15.8 inches.
Measure the length you want to cover and add panels or a second screen if one is too short. Sit in your usual seat before you decide, since the screen should block the line of sight from the spot you want hidden, not just the nearest corner.
Deck privacy screen materials and finishes
Most designs here use a metal frame, and some use iron, solid wood or pine. Powder-coated metal is a general weather-resistant choice, while wood and pine give a natural look but need care outdoors.
Black is the most common finish, with select models in white. Black metal suits modern decks, and a wood panel warms up a traditional space.
Privacy screen for patio seating areas
Set a privacy screen for a patio on firm, level ground, a little away from the edge of the deck so people can walk behind it. Put it on the side where neighbors or a street look in, and keep it clear of grills and open flames.
In open wind, add weight at the base or choose a model with a wider foot. Wipe metal frames clean, reseal wood as it dulls, and bring the screen under cover or store it in winter.
