5 videos • 405 views • by Modern Home Designs How to Design a Privacy Fence or Screen For Your Yard. There's no one-type-fits-all when it comes to creating a privacy screen or fence in your yard. Palatial mansion or pint-sized plot, every yard has a place needing a privacy fence or backyard retreat away from your neighbors' sight. Whether it's for the area near your pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, patio, or just a spot for enjoying some solitude, you'll need to figure out how to best create an outdoor landscape that includes a privacy barrier, such as a screen or fence. There is a very subtle difference between a privacy fence and privacy screen. A privacy fence might be made from durable materials such as vinyl, wood, iron, or aluminum. A privacy screen is typically smaller and can be made of anything from hedging to trees to a brick wall or a couple of strategically placed fence panels. You may need to check with your town or homeowners association for approval and logistics of building with these materials. Follow these important planning suggestions for sizing-up and finding the right type of privacy fence or screen for your outdoor space. If privacy is important to you, but your DIY skills are not up to the task, it may be a good investment to hire a contractor or landscape architect to carry out your vision. #screen #privacy #fencing
