Make a privacy screen for the balcony itself
Meanwhile, for the purposeful privacy on a balcony relatively many tailor-made solutions in the form of il-screens and panels are offered. With a little imagination and a little manual skill, a privacy screen for the balcony can also be easily designed by yourself.
Screen walls made of wood
Often the classic wooden privacy screens are used in the garden. These available in the hardware store wooden walls made of thin wooden slats are much too bulky for most balconies. A privacy screen made of wood can also be made very quickly even in the desired format and painted in the desired color. Then the wooden privacy screen on the inside can be covered with decorative elements such as shells from the last holiday or small artificial flowers. Especially in the trend you are with a screen made of used wooden pallets, which can be processed with a little manual skill quickly to a visually particularly interesting screen. On a balcony, screens made of pallets also have the advantage of being able to easily integrate a vertical city garden with hanging strawberries and other plants into the existing forms of the erected pallet.
Even make a blind from awning fabric
At scrap yards and recycling centers, old awnings are regularly disposed of with the original awning fabric. If this substance is separated from the metal frame with a sharp utility knife, it can generally be easily washed in the machine and often looks like new without the characteristic algae growth. This type of privacy screen is particularly interesting for balconies that have no continuous opaque balcony railing, but only a glazing or bars on the front. Simply lay the colorful fabric strip made of awning fabric along the glazing or the bars and fasten it with eyelets and cable ties available from the hardware store. If this proves to be difficult due to the lack of mounting options, two bolted wooden strips can be slid over balcony balustrade and awning fabric like an old-fashioned clothespin to fix the fabric in its position.
Provide nets and trellises for privacy
Trellises made of wood, plastic or metal can be suitable support structures for a close-to-nature privacy protection of vines with a correspondingly secure anchoring to the balcony material or in the balcony box. There are no limits to the imagination when it comes to plant selection, with one-year-old or annual new-shoot-out climbing plants for a balcony usually being more suitable than strong-growing kiwi plants and trumpet flowers. So put on one of the following climbing plants:
Screening mats made of willow branches, reeds and bamboo canes
Tips
Screening mats made of willow branches, reed and bamboo can be purchased at relatively low prices in almost every hardware store and can be easily cut to the required length and height. With their natural look, they can represent an aesthetic alternative to awning fabrics and lacquered wooden walls.
