Metal privacy screen
Decorative privacy screening for your property

Wind, street noise, and views and sounds from neighboring properties—with modern privacy screens, you can quickly and easily create secluded garden spaces. Gartenmetall® privacy screens not only provide more privacy but also serve as great decorative elements and help define different areas of the garden. Before placing an order, however, you should always check the legal requirements regarding distance and height and speak with your neighbors to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Garden Design Ideas

High stability thanks to folded edges and secure installation

Privacy screens must be structurally stable on their own, as they may be subjected to strong winds and other forces. Thanks to their folded edges, all of our privacy screens and fence systems meet stability requirements. Installation also plays a major role in the stability of these flat structures. The privacy screen can be mounted in various ways depending on the garden layout and, thanks to its compact size, takes up very little space. The elements can be set in concrete or screwed onto a solid surface; they can be mounted on a wall or secured between stone columns, gabions, wooden beams, or fence posts.

Metal privacy screens

Choose the right privacy screen for your garden. Our metal screens feature the following details:

VISTA Decorative Panels – Custom, Laser-Cut, and High-Quality

The VISTA decorative panels are available in three standard sizes, made of high-quality Corten steel, rotex-polished stainless steel, and color-coated stainless steel, as well as with numerous laser-cut or applied designs—by the way, our customers’ favorite designs are “Gräser2,” “Allium,” and “Dandelion.” We’re happy to manufacture custom sizes and your own designs based on your specifications! The VISTA trilogies, such as “Flowers” or “Flores,” are sure to attract special attention. The designs on the three panels are visually coordinated and, when combined, create a harmonious overall picture. Optionally, we offer the VISTA motif walls with a metallic or translucent acrylic back panel. LED lighting creates atmospheric effects.

LIGNA Firewood Privacy Screen – Practical and Effective

The privacy screen LIGNA  consists of a sturdy metal frame with folded edges all around, which is firmly anchored to the ground. The empty frame is filled with firewood and combines the various materials—metal and wood—with plenty of charm. Whether used as a partition on the patio or as a wood storage unit near a fire pit, the LIGNA frame showcases its unique qualities. By adding windows, the privacy screen can be customized to your liking. We offer rectangular, square, round, or heart-shaped windows as standard, but custom requests are also possible.

Modern garden furniture sits on a terrace, flanked by tall, geometrically stacked logs, surrounded by green lawn and trees. No visible signage present.

WANDA VARIO Framed Privacy Screen – Secure Framing for Patios and Gardens

Under the name WANDA VARIO Gartenmetall® offers a frame system that, depending on the filling, creates a custom-designed privacy screen. A trellis can be mounted in the frames—made of sturdy, high-quality metal—to serve as a secure support for climbing roses and other climbing plants. Alternatively, the frame is available with angled metal slats that allow partial visibility. The best-selling frame privacy screen is the WANDA VARIO with bamboo stalks. The combination of bamboo with a frame made of weathered Corten steel has the advantage that the bamboo stalks do not turn black—unlike wood, for example.

Privacy screen and planter in one – TERRAN Firewood Storage

With the partition TERRAN , you can kill several birds with one stone: This garden feature serves as a privacy screen, a planter for perennials and grasses, and a spacious firewood storage unit where firewood can be kept dry and is always quickly within reach. This opens up new design possibilities on the patio and in the garden. If you’re primarily looking for storage space for firewood, then we can recommend our firewood storage units LIGNA  . For planters used exclusively for plants, you’ll find what you’re looking for among our flexible planters TERRESTA .

Wooden panels stand in the garden, surrounded by plants and mulch, with a view of distant trees and fields, under a blue sky.

Design Complete FENCE SYSTEMS – with fences from Gartenmetall®

Are you looking not just to install a spot privacy screen, but want a complete FENCE SYSTEM made of metal? Gartenmetall® is the ideal partner for you, even for this project. Custom fence elements, such as VISTA decorative panels, are mounted between fence posts with square or U-shaped cross-sections. To complement this, we offer garden gates PORTA, mailbox posts CASA and GARBAGE CAN ENCLOSURES . Put together your own custom FENCE SYSTEM, just the way you want it!

The ARCO passageway gate as a gateway to the city or the garden—step right in

The ARCO passage gate serves as an entrance, privacy screen, and partition all at once. This striking metal gate can separate spaces, define boundaries, or even create new spaces. The structure is crafted from high-quality metal according to the client’s specifications. It’s also possible to laser-cut lettering—such as a company logo or house number—and backlight it. If you’d like additional storage space for firewood, the privacy screen LIGNA with firewood storage might be just what you’re looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Privacy Screens for Gardens and Patios

When choosing a metal privacy screen, the desired height isn’t the only factor to consider. Wind load, mounting, opacity, material, the underlying surface, and how it integrates with walls, planting areas, or existing fences must all work together. With our various privacy screen systems, we can therefore create both fully enclosed partitions and intentionally open, design-oriented solutions.

It depends on what function the privacy screen is intended to serve. With VISTA  we offer laser-cut metal decorative panels that combine privacy screening with design.& LIGNA  combines privacy screening with a firewood storage area. WANDA VARIO is a frame system with various panel options, such as metal slats, bamboo, RESYSTA®, or trellises.

The best option depends primarily on the desired level of privacy, design, installation situation, and mounting method.

Both materials are suitable for outdoor privacy screens, but differ significantly in their appearance.

Corten steel develops its characteristic rust-brown patina when exposed to the elements. We use weather-resistant structural steel of grade S355J2W+N for this purpose. Stainless steel has a brighter appearance and a more understated, technical look. For garden features, we prefer Rotex-polished surfaces, as minor signs of wear and fingerprints are less noticeable.

Depending on the product, color-coated finishes according to RAL or DB standards are also available. Which surface is more suitable therefore depends primarily on the design, surroundings, and desired material effect.

Yes. As the patina develops, rust water and rust particles may run off the surface.

For light-colored patio slabs, natural stone, exposed concrete, or facades, it is therefore important to consider during the planning phase where rainwater will run off the privacy screen. Depending on the installation situation, a strip of gravel, sufficient clearance, or targeted drainage may be advisable.

The appropriate height depends on which line of sight needs to be blocked. A privacy screen for a seating area may be sized differently than a partition along a property line.

Our systems are available in various sizes and, depending on the product, can also be custom-made to specific dimensions. Before placing an order, you should also check the applicable building codes and neighborhood regulations regarding height, setback distances, and fencing.

Large privacy screens can be subjected to significant wind forces. Therefore, the fasteners and foundation must always be selected based on the screen’s size, the substrate, and the installation conditions.

Depending on the system, for example, fasteners can be set in concrete, screwed onto a load-bearing surface, or mounted to existing structural components.

It is crucial that the privacy screen, fasteners, and substrate be planned as an integrated system. Wind loads should be taken into account early on, especially for large or largely enclosed elements.

VISTA is a flat, metal feature wall. The design is created using laser-cut cutouts, patterns, or custom motifs.

WANDA VARIO, on the other hand, consists of a metal frame that can be filled with various materials. This allows for greater control over the level of privacy through the choice of filling material.

VISTA is particularly suitable when the metal surface itself is intended to serve as a design element. WANDA VARIO is ideal when different materials or a variable degree of openness are desired.

Yes. In addition to existing designs, we can also manufacture VISTA feature walls with custom designs based on a suitable template.

Possible options include graphic patterns, lettering, logos, or project-specific designs. For a custom order, we need the desired dimensions and a suitable design template. We will then assess how the design can be technically implemented using laser cutting.

WANDA VARIO is designed as a frame system and can be combined with various panel options.

Options include, among others:

  • Metal slats
  • Bamboo tubes
  • RESYSTA® slats
  • Trellises

This allows you to precisely control the effect—from an open, plant-based solution to a structure that provides significantly greater privacy.

The best choice of infill depends on the desired level of privacy, design, maintenance requirements, and installation conditions.

Yes. We can customize many of our privacy screening systems to meet specific project requirements.

Depending on the product, options include custom heights and widths, custom designs, special radii, different materials, and various mounting methods.

To help us with specific planning, please provide a site plan, a sketch, or measurements with the desired dimensions, as well as details regarding the substrate, material, mounting method, and desired level of privacy.
