Buy Privacy Square Trellis for Light-Friendly Screening
Need extra privacy without turning your garden into a box? Privacy square trellis from East Coast Fencing delivers tighter-aperture lattice that blurs sightlines while still letting light and breezes through. It’s the smart way to raise boundary height above solid panels, screen a hot tub or dining terrace, and create sociable edges that feel calm rather than closed. Built from pressure-treated timber for UK conditions and sized for straightforward bay planning, our framed trellis integrates with standard posts, rails and capping.

Why privacy trellis beats solid add-ons
When you want comfort without confrontation, semi-open screening is your ally. The tighter grid softens views and quiets a boundary while reducing wind pressure compared with solid boards—excellent along blustery side returns and coastal plots. Because it’s modular, privacy trellis lets you customise height where it matters most—around seating or a spa—while keeping other sections lighter and more open. The result is a boundary that looks designed, not improvised.
Heights, widths and aperture—tune to the task
Panels are built for \~1.83m centres; select low sections to relieve the visual weight of tall fencing or full-height screens to carve out garden rooms. Aperture size governs both privacy and plant support: tighter squares obscure more and help delicate tendrils like sweet peas and clematis cling; slightly larger openings admit more light and suit roses and jasmine. If you only need a gentle lift on existing bays, our fence topper trellis keeps neighbours happy while improving comfort at seated eye level.
System compatibility—posts, boards and panels
Privacy trellis works best as part of a complete system. For a warm, natural build that’s easy to tweak on site, pair with straight wooden fence posts. For minimal upkeep and quick panel swaps, frame between slotted concrete fence posts. Protect lower cladding where trellis meets solid fencing with concrete gravel boards in high-wear spots or wooden gravel boards for a continuous timber look. Need more privacy below? Consider pairing with dense closeboard panels and finish the skyline with panel capping for clean runoff.
Installation for crisp, quiet results
Set end/corner posts first, pull a taut string at the final top height and fix panels to that datum. Use exterior-grade stainless or galvanised screws and pre-drill near batten edges to prevent splitting. On sloping ground, step heights neatly and choose longer posts at step points to maintain embedment. Working over paving? Light screens can use bolt-down shoes; for windy plots and full-height runs, concrete-in footings from our cement products range keep everything anchored.
Design ideas that earn their keep
Raise comfort around a seating nook with privacy trellis toppers above solid fence panels; flank a pergola with full-height screens so vines can cast dappled shade; or run privacy trellis along a neighbour boundary where windows overlook your patio. For a composed entrance, echo the geometry with a sympathetic leaf from our decorative gates selection.
Colour and finish
Leave the treatment to mellow to soft silver, stain brown to ground taller screens, or choose deep charcoal to modernise and make planting pop. Light tints brighten narrow side returns. Treat fresh cuts during installation and keep planters a fraction off the face so timber can breathe.
Care and longevity
Brush away leaves that collect at rails, tighten fixings each spring and refresh breathable finishes as required. Avoid aggressive jet-washing close to joints—it can force water where you don’t want it. If stems thicken around the lattice, re-tie to spread weight evenly and prevent chafing.
