Options for Deck Privacy Enhancement
Common Privacy Solutions:
- Lattice Screens
- Outdoor Curtains
- Plants
Inspiration and Planning: Many homeowners use platforms like Pinterest for design inspiration and select specific privacy screen designs that align with their spaces and preferences.
Construction Methods and Techniques
General Construction Process: Constructing privacy enhancements is often straightforward and uses minimal materials. It is recommended to build the screen in manageable sections for easier handling, especially on elevated decks.
Lattice Screen Installation Methods:
- Building a Frame: Construct a frame around the lattice sheet, and mount it on the deck railing without additional posts.
- Post Replacement Method: Replace 4-foot posts with 6-foot posts, create a frame using vinyl handrails, attach lattice sheets with U-channels, and secure to both posts and pergola beams for stability.
- Aluminum Railings: Extend post height, place lattice in a channel, and secure it to both the railing and post systems.
Size and Customization: Custom sizes are available for easy fitting into projects. Alternatively, standard sizes can be ordered, and lattice sheets can be cut similarly to wood.
