Garden privacy is often a key part of outdoor design, especially when neighboring houses are close and overlook a porch or terrace. For more privacy, you can surround the garden with fence panels, screens, wooden structures, or dense planting that still lets in light and air. Combined with an arbor or pergola, even an open pattern can make an outdoor corner feel comfortable. When lush plants and climbing flowers cover the structure, it can be as effective as a solid fence.
Garden Privacy with Wooden Lattice

Comfortable seating areas in the garden for reading, entertaining, sunbathing or meditation should feel well protected. Build a wall or high fence, then soften its appearance with climbing plants and hanging baskets.
Garden Privacy with Wood and Glass Blocks

A wooden trellis accented with glass blocks can create a distinctive garden privacy screen. Try placing glass blocks here and there while leaving openings for sun and fresh air.

A garden terrace is an ideal place for the family to enjoy a relaxing outdoor space. Depending on where you live and how close the neighbors are, a little more privacy can make the terrace much more pleasant. Wooden privacy structures are simple, relatively inexpensive and always stylish.
