Corten Steel Screens
Corten steel screens are a popular pick for privacy-loving gardeners. These sturdy screens offer a rustic, yet modern charm and a unique, earthy texture. They are a great way to add a touch of industrial flair to your garden while keeping unwanted eyes away. Corten steel screens are a popular choice for privacy screens, decorative features, and architectural accents. Corten steel is a type of weathering steel that develops a rust-like patina over time, which not only adds to its unique and industrial appearance but also creates a protective layer that helps to prevent corrosion.
One of the great things about corten steel screens is their durability. They are strong, long-lasting, and require very little maintenance. They are also versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from modern urban landscapes to rustic country gardens.
Corten steel screens can be plain or have intricate cut-outs and patterns. Cut-out screens are particularly popular as they allow light to filter through while still maintaining privacy. These screens can come in a range of shapes and designs, from simple geometric shapes to intricate botanical motifs.
One of the benefits of corten steel screens with intricate cut-outs is that they can be customised to fit any garden or outdoor space. They can be used as freestanding screens, wall-mounted features, or even as garden gates or fencing. They can also be used to create different zones or add interest to an otherwise blank wall or space.
Overall, corten steel screens, particularly those with intricate cut-outs, are a stylish and practical way to add privacy and visual interest to your garden. With their unique look and weather-resistant properties, they are sure to stand the test of time and provide an eye-catching feature in any outdoor space.

Alternative Methods for Creating Privacy
At Paving Superstore, we provide a range of secrecy solutions; varying from fence panels and screens, to walling and the more fashionable water features. For example, our 'Adezz Aluminium Waterfall Wall' creates the perfect mid-height division between your garden and the surrounding elements, enhanced by the peaceful sound of falling water. If this isn't up your street, here's a handful of alternative ideas:
1. Living Walls: Instead of traditional fencing or walling, consider creating a living wall with plants. This can add a beautiful natural element to your garden while also providing privacy and obscuring an unsightly view. Plants such as ivy, climbing roses, and clematis can be trained to grow up a trellis or wall and create a lush and green barrier and when palted in a raised bed, they have instant height.
2. Water Features: A water feature such as a fountain or pond can not only add a calming and relaxing element to your garden, but it can also create a visual and auditory barrier to obscure unwanted views. The sound of running water can help to block out noise and create a sense of privacy and seclusion. 
3. Outdoor Curtains: Installing outdoor curtains can add a touch of elegance to your garden while also providing privacy and obscuring an unsightly view. These curtains can be made from outdoor fabrics that are designed to withstand the elements and can be hung from a pergola or trellis to create a cosy and intimate space.
4. Vertical Garden Screens: Create a vertical garden screen using a series of planters or hanging baskets. This can be a great way to add privacy while also adding a pop of colour and texture to your outdoor space. Plants such as succulents, ferns, and flowering vines work well in vertical garden screens.
5. Decorative Perspex Panels: Instead of traditional fencing or walling, consider using clear coloured decorative perspex panels as a creative work of art in your garden. These panels can be positioned at staggered intervals in a range of colours, creating a beautiful and functional feature in your garden while also providing privacy and obscuring an unsightly view with a myriad of rainbow colours.
6. Gabion Cages: Fill gabion cages with decorative stones, rocks or even wine bottles to create an interesting and uniquely textured wall. Stack more than one high to generate extra height or at single height, position slatted timber panels on the top to create extra seating within the garden.
The Benefits of Privacy
Having privacy in your garden can massively increase the sense of belonging in your own property. It allows you to design according to your own preferences and visuals - your garden can become a radiant representation of your creativity. In addition, your garden can be personalised based on your needs and lifestyle; whether you need plenty of outdoor seating and amenities to converse with and entertain family, or whether you would much prefer a quiet space to relax on your own. Maybe you would like to increase the quantity of wildlife that visits your garden but the cat next door scares everything away before you get the chance, or maybe you wish to add lighting without sticking out like a sore thumb; whatever the reason, the privacy features we provide can aid you in making your garden feel like your domain.
If you are adding privacy to your area, you may benefit from having fantastic furnishings to increase the WOW-factor. It's important to consider the theme or colour elements that you wish for your garden to display when looking to include furniture. For example, if your foliage and planting mainly consists of neutral colours, it could be ideal to add bright-coloured seating to add a pop to your garden; place these in areas that you wish to be your focal points. On the other hand, you may desire an entirely natural appearance, in which case use wild flowers in connection with wooden decorations to give a woodland impression. If neither of these ideas take your fancy, you may lean towards a more contemporary garden, in which you may use more shrubbery and a strict colour palette for your greenery. Consider opting for an outdoor bar or bistro furnishings to compliment your modern marvel. Take your al fresco dining to the next level with our 'Vienna 4 Seater Dining Furniture'.
Privacy is a large portion of turning your garden into your home. There are many solutions to try, no matter the reason. Here at Paving Superstore, we are all for helping our customers in every one of their garden-related solutions, and therefore we would love to hear your suggestions or stories if you've tried any of our tips and tricks!
