Privacy Screens for Decks & Patios — Q&A’s

1. What is a privacy screen for a deck or patio?

A privacy screen is a custom-built feature—usually made of wood, composite, metal, or a mix—that creates a barrier between your outdoor space and neighboring views. It adds privacy, shade, wind protection, and visual interest to your deck or patio.

2. What materials do you use for privacy screens?

We build privacy screens using cedar, composite materials (like Trex or TimberTech), metal, or decorative panels. Each material offers different benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics, and maintenance.

3. Can privacy screens be customized to match my deck?

Yes! All our privacy screens are custom-designed to match your deck style, railing system, and home exterior. We can tailor the design, height, spacing, color, and materials to fit your space perfectly.

4. Are privacy screens good for wind and sun protection?

Definitely. Many of our clients choose privacy screens not just for visual privacy, but to reduce wind exposure, create shaded zones, or block low sun glare during the evening hours.

5. Will a privacy screen block my view or light?

Not necessarily. We can design partial-height screens, angled panels, or decorative cutouts that allow for airflow and light while still offering privacy where it's needed most.

6. Do privacy screens require permits in Eastside King County?

In many cases, privacy screens under a certain height do not require a permit. However, if your screen is part of a raised deck or exceeds height limits, local regulations may apply. We’ll help you check and navigate any city-specific requirements in Sammamish, Issaquah, Bellevue, and nearby areas.

7. How long does installation take?

Most privacy screen installations can be completed in 1–2 days, depending on the design complexity and materials. We’ll give you a detailed timeline during your project consultation.

8. Can privacy screens be added to an existing deck or patio?

Yes! Whether you have a wood, composite, or paver patio, we can install a privacy screen as an upgrade without having to replace your existing structure.

9. How tall can a privacy screen be?

Most residential privacy screens are between 4–8 feet tall. We’ll design yours based on your needs, view lines, and local building codes.

10. Are privacy screens low-maintenance?

That depends on the material. Composite and powder-coated metal require minimal upkeep. Cedar and wood may need periodic staining or sealing to maintain their appearance.
