Tauranga boasts stunning scenery and a vibrant outdoor lifestyle. But with so many sections having close neighbours, enjoying a bit of privacy in your backyard can often feel like a challenge. Don’t let that stop you from creating your private oasis.

Creating a secluded and comfortable outdoor environment is easier than you think. At Ironclad Pergolas, we offer a wide range of stylish and functional outdoor privacy screens that can transform your backyard into a secluded and inviting retreat allowing you to relax, entertain, and soak up the sunshine without feeling overlooked by neighbours.

Benefits of outdoor privacy screens

Privacy screens offer many benefits for Tauranga homeowners. Not only do they enhance your privacy and security, but they also contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing and functional outdoor space.

  • Enhanced privacy: The primary benefit, of course, is a sense of seclusion. Privacy screens create a physical barrier, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without feeling like your neighbours are watching your every move.
  • Reduced noise pollution: Living close to others often means dealing with unwanted noise. Privacy screens can help to dampen sound, creating a more peaceful atmosphere in your backyard.
  • Improved aesthetics: Modern privacy screens come in a variety of styles and materials, adding a decorative element to your outdoor space.
  • Versatility: There are endless options for using privacy screens. They can be used to create separate areas within your backyard, define an entertaining space, or simply block unsightly views.
  • Wind protection: Privacy screens can also offer some protection from wind, creating a more comfortable outdoor environment.
