The first step to creating an outdoor privacy screen is to ensure that you have plenty of plants to use as your screen.
To start, you should plant shrubs, trees and flowers around the perimeter of your property line (the place where the fence ends). You’ll want enough shrubbery or trees so that it’s just not possible for people on the other side of the fence from seeing into your yard if they’re standing at their fence line looking out at yours.
Next, plant vines like ivy or honeysuckle at each corner of your fence; this will help provide even more coverage and privacy than just having one plant alone would provide because a vine can grow up a post or over an archway in order to cover both sides of an opening in what would otherwise be a very exposed area if there was no other flowering vegetation growing nearby.”
2. Lean latticework against your house, or erect a bamboo fence
If you’re short on space or like the idea of a more permanent outdoor screen, consider installing latticework or bamboo fencing.
A lattice privacy screen can be installed on your house or attached to it with brackets. A sturdy wooden frame is covered with chicken wire and then either stapled in place or bolted to the house. This type of latticework is often used along porches, as well as in gardens and patios. If you aren’t quite sure how to go about installing it, consult an expert before getting started!
Bamboo fencing is another great option for creating an outdoor privacy screen that sits off the ground. You can buy pre-made panels from hardware stores; otherwise, use wood framing and attach bamboo slats along the sides of each panel at intervals of about 3 feet apart. As with any other project involving wooden boards (including wood fences), make sure that each board is secured tightly against its neighbor so that nothing moves around when people walk past it!
3. Build a pergola to shield your backyard from view
A pergola is a structure built on posts or columns with a roof covering. It can be used to create privacy and shade, and it’s also a great way to add some architectural interest to your garden. The structure can be built with wood, stone or brick, depending on the type of look you want in your garden.
Pergolas come in all shapes and sizes, so you can use them as small outdoor rooms that are perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the summertime heat.
4. Hide behind a small garden shed or outdoor shower
If you need to hide behind something, try a small garden shed. You can place this in the corner of your garden and it will naturally draw people’s attention away from you. Or if you are worried about privacy in an outdoor shower, this is also a great option!
This is perfect for those who want to maintain their modesty but still have access to a bathroom when needed.
5. Install outdoor curtains

Outdoor curtains are a great way to hide your garden and can be used to create a beautiful space that is both functional and stylish. There are many different styles, colours, and materials available so you will be sure to find something that suits your home perfectly. They come in different lengths as well as being blackout or sheer so you can choose how much privacy you want from them. They are easy to install and can be used in any room of the house – whether it’s the kitchen window or lounge room window!
6. Reimagine an existing architectural feature with a fresh coat of paint
If you want to add new life to an existing architectural feature, such as a window box or a planter, paint can be used to make your outdoor privacy screen look new again.
You might choose any color for this purpose—orange or red are popular choices for the holidays, while grey and black are more neutral tones that blend in with most surfaces. It’s also possible to use natural wood tones such as brown or white.
Whatever you choose, make sure that the paint is durable and will last for years. You should also consider whether you’ll be applying it with a roller or brush; this will determine how quickly you have a finished product!
7. Fence in your vegetables so that you can enjoy their harvest in peace—and out of sight of any pests

You’ll be spending a lot of time in your garden, so it makes sense to make sure that you have total control over what happens there. You don’t want to be looking at this sector:
Instead, try something like this instead:
This way, when you’re out there planting and watering and harvesting, you don’t have to worry about anyone else poking their nose into the business of your veggie patch. And if someone does come snooping around, they’ll have no idea what’s behind all those plants—so even if they do see something interesting (like carrot greens), then they won’t know whether or not it’s just a random plant or one of yours!
8. Place garden mirrors strategically around your yard to create the illusion of more space and divert attention
You can use mirrors to make your garden look larger than it actually is. Mirrors are also great for distracting attention from the border of your yard. If you want to create an illusion of more space, place a mirror at least 10 meters away from your fence or wall so that people think they’re looking at a whole different landscape.
Mirrors can be placed strategically along the fence to deflect attention away from the actual wall and into the distance (see image). It will appear as if there’s nothing behind this beautiful vista other than natural greenery and wildlife!
When placing these garden mirrors, remember: bigger is better! Aim for at least 1′ x 1′ mirrors if possible; anything smaller won’t have enough impact on an observer’s perception of distance between themselves and what they’re seeing in front of them (in this case “farther” means “closer”).
9. Hang a privacy screen on the outside of your deck railing to hide from neighbors and passersby`
A great way to hide from neighbors and passersby is with a screen. You can hang a privacy screen on the outside of your deck railing, which will create a nice partitioned area for entertaining or even just relaxing. The more private you make it, the better!
A lot of people love sitting outside but don’t like having their conversations overheard by others in the neighborhood. Privacy screens are also a great option if you have children who play in your yard and want someplace where they can play without anyone looking over their shoulder at them all day long. A privacy screen gives them somewhere to go where they feel comfortable having fun without worrying about being watched by nosy neighbors who may not understand how much work goes into raising children!
