Enjoying the garden, terrace, or balcony without worrying about prying eyes is not always as simple as it seems. Sometimes, the home faces a common area, such as the community pool or, given the height and orientation, directly the street. That is why, unlike indoor spaces where you can place vinyls on windows, for example, in EL PAÍS Escaparate we share a simple, non-invasive, and inexpensive solution: we refer to privacy fences made of a flexible material like reed fencing.

Installing it around the entire perimeter will prevent us from feeling uncomfortable in our own garden during a time when we gather so often around an outdoor table, such as in summer. Also when taking a dip, having a nap, or inviting friends and family to enjoy a delicious barbecue. Additionally, its installation does not block airflow or sunlight as other solutions do.
Privacy screen for the garden: reed fencing resistant to ultraviolet rays
Although the level of concealment is not as dense as that provided by hedges, the advantage of choosing artificial reed fencing for the garden is that it requires no maintenance. It is a separating element that sufficiently hinders vision, and the degree of concealment it generates is greater than those made with natural materials, such as bamboo. In this case, its opacity is high as it leaves two mm spaces between its slats.
Another advantage of using this reed fencing is that it is made of a very durable material, polyvinyl chloride. It not only withstands ultraviolet rays very well without wearing out, but it is also designed to endure rain and daily exposure to the elements. This aesthetically pleasing privacy fence also effectively cuts wind gusts and is sold in two finishes: bamboo tone or grayish.
Double-sided privacy screen: includes reinforced and textured tubes
Its design is another strong point of this privacy fence for gardens, patios, and balconies. The rigidity of its tubes allows improved stability, so they will not easily bend over time. Additionally, each of these tubes contains a reinforcement bar inside, so they will not flex either. As if that were not enough, its textured surface on both sides gives it a minimalist and modern look.
“Durable, good quality, and easy to install. It blocks visibility from outside very well,” comments a buyer with satisfaction. Lastly, and no less important, it can be chosen in multiple sizes and different heights, according to each need. Also, the package includes all the hardware necessary for the simplest possible installation, and it can be cut with a cutter if needed.
