Garden Privacy Screens from QAQ Screens

Garden Privacy Screens create a safe, serene and elegant atmosphere to an outdoor space.

Residential properties situated in crowded suburbs may be overlooked by surrounding buildings or exposed to high foot traffic. Or perhaps a carefully landscaped garden needs protection from wandering neighbourhood pets. Such scenarios need more than a simple a fence.

Fences can be high maintenance. Wood fences are vulnerable to decay over time and need regular painting and staining. Chain link fences are affordable, but don't provide enough privacy. Not to mention, Link fences' aesthetic appeal does not add value to the landscape.

Hedging is another option. However, this is not recommended if you are looking for a more urgent option. Growing a hedge requires a lot of time for the shrubbery and vines to grow enough to shield your garden and outdoor area. This also requires more time shaping, pruning and hedges regularly to achieve favourable results.

Garden Privacy screens are ideal for an instant result. Here are some more reasons why every designer, landscape artist and homeowner should consider using Garden Privacy Screens:

Visibility and Light Penetration

Privacy screens vary on the level of concealment and security. You can choose a design that can protect the garden but still provide a small peek to let people appreciate the greenery. If you have a small garden space, one thing that you should consider is having enough room for light penetration. The Pretoria design from QAQ provides sunlight allowance and 60% visibility of the garden. The screen's varying lines distract the eye, providing adequate privacy and light.

Colour and Material
Using privacy screens made from sturdy low maintenance metal can save you from unnecessary repair costs. If you're looking for a lightweight material that can still withstand various weather conditions, aluminium is the way to go. The Aluminium Composite material is suggested for those who wish to add colour to their screens. Gloss finishes are available in orange, red, ultramarine, yellow, black or silver. A brushed silver effect is also available.

Mild steel is another metal material that is ideal for the outdoors. It is the most affordable and most common steel. For the best long term usage, a powder coating finish is suggested.

Acrylic or Perspex is also an ideal material for garden privacy screens, as they are lightweight, impact resistant and flexible. Available in more colours, giving designers and landscape artists more leeway for creativity.

Height
Generally, the higher your screen, the safer your garden becomes. Garden Privacy screens protect your garden from people and animals from jumping over the fence. Depending on the material, a garden privacy screen can be as high as 3600mm.
