Privacy screens Hallam

If your deck, balcony or side passage feels a little on display, you’re not alone. In built-up pockets of Hallam and surrounding suburbs, neighbours are closer, blocks are narrower and you still want light and airflow without giving up privacy. That’s where privacy screens Hallam solutions from Walnut come in - custom-made, engineered properly and installed cleanly.

Design details that make the difference

Great privacy screens don’t just happen. We pay attention to:

  • Gaps and sightlines We plan viewing angles from the neighbour’s side to manage overlooking while preserving your natural light.

  • Heights and locations We advise on sensible heights for side and rear boundaries, upstairs balconies and deck edges to align with typical council expectations.

  • Structure and fixings Between-post, face-fixed or channel-mounted - we’ll specify posts, footings and brackets that resist wind and keep panels true.

  • Access and services Hinged or lift-out sections can protect meters, hot water units or pool equipment without sacrificing privacy.

  • Pool-adjacent areas Where applicable, we match screen layouts with pool safety and gate swing considerations.

Result: a screen that functions as intended on day one and still looks right years later.


Materials and finishes

We primarily work in aluminium and steel because they’re strong, precise and long-lasting.

  • Aluminium Excellent corrosion resistance and lighter weight. Ideal for slats, louvres and decorative panels.

  • Steel Great where extra rigidity is required, especially for taller runs or high-exposure sites.

Finishes include architectural powder-coats in popular tones like Black, Monument and Surfmist, plus wood-look options for warmth with none of the upkeep.


Builders and fencers Hallam

Where privacy screens deliver the most value

  • Balconies and upper decks that need screening from side windows

  • Side paths where neighbours’ living rooms or kitchens face your walkway

  • Bin, AC and service enclosures to tidy views from the street

  • Carports and courtyards that need shelter without closing off airflow

  • Front fences and entries where you want presence without feeling boxed in

Tip: Pair privacy screens with coordinated gates or fencing for a cohesive front elevation.
