How to use screening to hide unsightly items

Use screening to hide unsightly items

Colorbond® screening or slatted screening can make a fantastic addition to the front or backyard of your home, and while it’s often used as a design statement or to increase privacy, screening has another excellent purpose as well…

Hiding unsightly outdoor items from public view!

Here are some of our favourite things to hide away using Colorbond® or slatted screening:

  • Bins
  • Air conditioning units
  • Electricity metres
  • Pool equipment
  • Gardening tools
  • Bikes
  • Litter boxes
  • Kennels
  • Old sheds
  • Water tanks
  • Hot water heaters

A single screening panel is often all that’s needed to take the attention away from items such as these, and allow them to sit in their own private space obscured from public sight. You could also create a more elaborate design by placing several screens around the area, or making a corner and “boxing off” the area by joining two screening panels.

Screening has many other great uses in the front and backyard – such as allowing you to segregate certain areas for storage, relaxation or play.

For example, you could create screening around a children’s play area, or a little section of garden designed for reading or quiet reflection.

The possibilities are endless – as are the range of screening designs that we offer at WR Engineering. We can help you determine which colour and style will help you achieve your vision, and whether Colorbond® screening or slatted screening would work best.
