Why Choose Modern Privacy Screen Plans?
Not all privacy screens are created equal. Too often you still see basic lattice nailed between posts—a look that might have worked in the 80s but feels out of place today. Our privacy screen designs are modern, intentional, and unique.
Color & Style Choices
-
White stain → formal, classy, highlights detail and shadows.
-
Medium brown → fades into the background, less detail.
-
Natural cedar → ages into a soft silver-grey patina.
-
Vines → soften and blend the structure into the landscape.
The key is a modern pattern—something clean, uncommon, and eye-catching. It doesn’t need to be metal or glass; smart wood design can achieve the same effect.
