Shading solutions to gain privacy from neighbours

Spring is practically knocking on our door and most of us can’t wait to spend more time outside taking in the sun and gardens. Though spending time outdoors is beneficial to our wellbeing, it may be uncomfortable if we feel like we are being watched. But don’t worry, we are putting a list of the best outdoor product options to help you restore your privacy while enhancing the appearance of your outdoor space.

1.Put up a pergola

Pergolas are outdoor structures with a roof and supporting posts that can be bespoke to suit various styles and house designs. Moreover, if you opted for high quality pergolas like Markilux or Weinor, the pergolas can even be resistant to wind speeds of up to 30mph and safe to use when it rains. Since pergola are largely open, they are one of our recommended products to block a neighbour’s view because they can be adapted to include stat walls and stylish, secluded seating.

2. Invite stylish privacy with a parasol

Parasols are another great option to block a neighbour’s view. They are perfect for lovely cottage garden designs that seek solitude and shade. In addition, garden parasols will be extremely helpful for those hot summer days because they can be moved about as needed to offer shade in multiple locations. Parasols are a far more adaptable way to block your neighbour’s view than a permanent structure because they are so easy to pull down and store when not in use and come in a number of different sizes and styles. Another advantage of a parasol is short turnaround time, unlike a pergola or other structures that require a 4-6 week lead time.

At Samson Outdoor Living, our parasol ranges can be delivered within a week depending on stock availability. Therefore, if you are planning for an upcoming outdoor Easter party and want to add extra shade, you can consider our parasol ranges to enjoy your quality time with your families.

3. Add an awning for shade and seclusion

An awning is a supporting structure that can be fixed to the side of your home and extended outwards when needed. A garden awning is an easy way to block your neighbour’s view, especially if you neighbours overlook you from above.

To enhance extra privacy, we suggested you consider drop down valance or blind side which are available in most of awning ranges. The drop down valance easily screens off the front to add extra shade whenever the sun is a little too bright or shinning low in the sky.

Creating personal space in your garden does not have to be stressful or complicated. With some suggested solutions above, you can now limit your neighbour’s views in a stylish and efficient way. This simple touch turns your patio into a sanctuary where you can relax without worrying about being seen.
