It’s brilliant to have a garden or backyard in which to spend time with friends and family but regardless of how comfortable your furniture is and how spectacular your hanging baskets, there’s often something missing – and that’s privacy. Fortunately there is a solution and that’s one or more privacy screens.
Versatility
One of the best aspects about a steel privacy screen is that when it comes to design there really are no limits. Steel is a great material for fabricators to work with and can be cut or bent to any size and shape. It can also be decorated using a laser which allows for the prettiest and most intricate designs ever. Steel also works well with wood and as such a steel privacy screen could be fitted into an attractive pale ash frame for a look that is sleek and contemporary.
Minimal maintenance
Screens made from wood and other materials are likely to require staining and varnishing on a regular basis whereas steel requires no maintenance at all. We can galvanise steel to make it even more durable for outdoor use and we can use powder coatings in a wide shade or glorious rainbow colours to make your screen blend in with its surroundings or act in total contrast.
Stunning feature
As well as being a practical choice, steel privacy screens can serve as a bold focal point in your garden. Try placing them at intervals around your garden and growing some trailing plants up them. Or how about a couple of louvre effect screens to enclose an intimate dining area. Hang a few twinkly fairy lights over them, light some candles and incense sticks, and you can create a wonderfully romantic ambience.
Cost effective
Although the initial outlay for a steel screen may be more than that for a wood or wicker screen, once you take into account its longevity and the fact that it needs no maintenance to speak of, then it really is a cost effective solution. What’s more attractive screens can really add interest when it comes to selling your property particularly if you’re competing with an identical neighbouring property.
