CONVERT AN EXISTING DECK RAILING INTO A BEAUTIFUL PRIVACY WALL.

Simply call the Citywide deck experts to book a review of your deck and see if new construction is a good solution. Privacy walls come in a wide range of styles, materials, and price ranges. Our crew is ready to come to you and design the perfect privacy wall.

CREATE THE ILLUSION OF PRIVACY ON YOUR DECK WITH A TRELLIS.

A trellis can often make your deck feel more private. When combined with growing vines, they create a unique space that blocks some of the view. Depending on where your deck is positioned, it can be nice to have a breeze or sunlight come through the trellis. Many people choose to customize their deck with a trellis instead of a privacy wall so they can enjoy the sun shining through. Also known as a lattice privacy screen, this is an inexpensive option to get added privacy on your deck.

QUICK-GROWING PRIVACY PLANTS.

Plants offer a beautiful, natural solution to an over-exposed sundeck. Plants take time to mature to fill the space, but some grow faster than others. The Emerald Green Thuja (pictured) is a popular deck plant, as it grows up to five feet per year. Bamboo is popular as it grows tall, creating a wall around your sundeck. Always consult a landscaper or ask your local garden store when it comes to choosing a non-invasive species. There are plenty of choices for plants that grow year round in the mid island area.

GET DECK PRIVACY WITH HANGING PLANT BASKETS.

This is an easy solution that fits all budgets. Sometimes all you need is a row of hanging baskets to block out unsightly views. First, choose where your hanging basket will go. Depending on how much sun they will get (full sun, part-sun or mostly shade), you’ll be able to choose the best suited plants.

POTTED PLANTS OR TREES MAKE A CREATIVE PRIVACY SCREEN.

If you don’t have the time to wait for privacy plants to grow, then consider potted plants or trees. This option will cost you more than hanging baskets, but will block views and create a cozy feeling of privacy. Vancouver Island has endless options of potted plants that will happily grow all year long. 

DECORATE AND CREATE PRIVACY ON YOUR DECK WITH CURTAINS.

There are a wide variety of outdoor-friendly fabrics available. Fabric screens create the perfect DIY customized privacy wall for your sundeck. This is an inexpensive option that can be easily customized to your style. One of the bonuses of using fabric is being able to have different colours and styles, and switch them out each season.

DISTRACT THE SENSES.

Adding a water feature can cover up the noise from a busy street, or loud neighbours. Solve your noise problems with a water fountain or other water feature on your sundeck. Sometimes, all it takes is a more peaceful, natural sound to enjoy your space more!

MAKE A PRIVACY WALL WITH FAUX HEDGES.

Love the idea of green spaces, but lack the green thumb? Faux boxwood hedges can be strategically placed around your deck to provide privacy. Line the exterior of your patio with them, and you’re done! Just be sure to bring them indoors if your patio is exposed to the rainy Vancouver Island weather. This is an easy, affordable option that will last for years to come. If you don’t have the budget for a custom privacy wall, nor the time to grow plants to maturity, grab yourself some faux hedges and call it done!

POP UP PRIVACY WITH A GAZEBO.

If you don’t need deck privacy all year round, a canvas gazebo provides privacy on demand. Simply pop it up, and you’ve got four walls of privacy surrounding your deck. You can bring your gazebo with you when you move, making it an affordable and durable option.

PUT A ROOF ON IT.

A pergola can do amazing things for your deck. While making your space feel cozier, a pergola creates the feeling of privacy. You can enhance its design with hanging baskets or lights to customize it further to suit your taste. Want to transform your deck into the ultimate outdoor oasis?
