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.

Popular styles that work in Hallam homes
Below are our most requested privacy screens Hallam styles. We’ll tailor gaps, spans and posts to suit your site and council context.
Style | Best for | Privacy vs airflow | Maintenance |
Aluminium slat (horizontal or vertical) | Side returns, carports, bin or AC enclosures | Adjustable gaps for balanced privacy and breeze | Low — wash and go |
Vertical blade or batten | Front elevations, modern facades | High privacy with strong architectural lines | Low |
Laser-cut panels | Feature walls, balconies, courtyards | Pattern dependent — from dappled light to near-solid | Low |
Fixed or adjustable louvres | Balconies and decks with sun control needs | Angle the blades for view out, block view in | Low |

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.

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.
