Screening and Privacy
How we love this green and pleasant land …and how we struggle to keep it thus. Most of us get along quite well with our neighbours, but that doesn’t stop us all from valuing seclusion when we are at home recharging our batteries. And then of course there are the less neighbourly intrusions to contend with, like the motorway lights from the new bypass, or the parking garage going up across the road, or that single electricity pylon in the distance that wrecks an otherwise unspoilt vista. Different problems call for different solutions, of course. If you’d like some ideas of how we solve these sorts of problems for people, check-out our Screening Solutions page. Meanwhile, here are some of our favourite go-to varieties for screening.
