Balcony privacy screen guide
Ideas and fixing
Fabric privacy screens for balcony, patio and roof terrace: eight guides on ideas, on fixing to the railing without drilling, and on wind and winter. We make balcony privacy screens, balcony curtains and outdoor curtains to measure in our production in Westoverledingen. We do not make fences or privacy mats.

4 rulesPrivacy screen ideas for balcony and patio
Whether it is a balcony with a railing, a ground-level patio or a windy corner: which fabric privacy screen suits depends on the place. These four pages show the options for each situation.
Fixing a balcony privacy screen and curtain
On the balcony the privacy screen holds on the railing, on the patio on the house wall, posts or beams. These four pages show the installation, the fixing with cord or cable ties and what to note if you sew the screen yourself.
What to watch for with a balcony privacy screen: four rules
On the railing, the made-to-measure balcony privacy screen suits. Without a railing or on the patio, the made-to-measure outdoor curtain hangs from wire rope or track, and on the balcony, for sliding aside, the made-to-measure balcony curtain.
Eyelets instead of magnets
The balcony privacy screen gets stainless steel eyelets in the hem, top and bottom and, if needed, at the sides too, and holds on the railing with cable ties or cord tape. Magnets join two curtain parts together, they do not carry a screen across its surface.
Four fabrics, plain or striped
The balcony privacy screen comes in four fabrics, plain or striped. All four are tightly woven and opaque. You can look at all the fabrics beforehand as a free fabric sample.
One screen per bay
If your railing has several bays or a gate, we make one element per bay with its own width and height. Around a corner you choose between one screen per side and one long screen across several sides. Cut-outs for hinges and handle can be worked into the fabric.
Take down in storms and in winter
A textile privacy screen is not storm protection, so take it down in storms and over the winter.
More sun protection guides
The balcony privacy screen is one of four families in the sun protection guide. If you also need shade from above on the balcony, you will find the matching guide under fixing a shade sail on a balcony.
