Your deck is your outdoor sanctuary—a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of Long Island. But when neighboring homes, busy streets, or windy conditions compromise your comfort, a privacy screen can transform your space into a more peaceful, functional retreat.
At Eled Decking, we help homeowners across Long Island design and install custom deck privacy screens that not only block unwanted views but also enhance the beauty and value of your home.

Why Add a Privacy Screen to Your Deck?
A privacy screen offers much more than just visual separation. Done right, it can:
-
Shield your deck from neighboring views or street traffic
-
Serve as a windbreak for breezier locations
-
Create a more intimate, defined space for dining, hot tubs, or lounging
-
Block unsightly areas like utility boxes or fences
-
Add architectural interest and style to your deck design
Whether you live in a dense neighborhood or just want to feel more comfortable in your outdoor living area, a privacy screen can help.
Best Privacy Screen Options for Long Island Decks
At Eled Decking, we offer a range of privacy screen solutions to fit different styles, needs, and budgets. Here are the most popular options:
1. Louvered Screens

Best For:
-
Partial shade and breeze control

Modern and transitional aesthetics

Full privacy for hot tubs, dining areas, or city homes

Long-term durability with low upkeep
-
Seamless match with your deck materials
3. Decorative Privacy Panels
These laser-cut metal or PVC panels come in intricate patterns that offer beauty along with partial privacy. They act as functional art and work well in contemporary designs.

Statement pieces that elevate curb appeal
-
Stylish shading with filtered light
-
Custom patterns or branding
4. Pergola Curtains or Outdoor Fabric Screens
These soft, flowing panels are mounted on rods or tracks and can be drawn open or closed as needed. Ideal for decks with pergolas or covered areas.
Best For:

Flexible privacy and sun protection
-
Resort-style relaxation

Enhancing lounge areas or cabanas
5. Green Screens and Living Walls
Plant-based privacy using tall hedges, vertical gardens, or climbing vines on trellises can offer a lush, natural screen.

Nature lovers and garden enthusiasts

Organic aesthetics

Partial privacy that blends with landscaping
How to Choose the Right Privacy Screen
When designing your privacy solution, we’ll consider:
-
Your privacy goals: Full enclosure vs. filtered view
-
Wind and sun exposure on your property
-
Your deck size and layout
-
Maintenance preferences
-
Aesthetics—do you prefer rustic, modern, or natural looks?
Our design team at Eled Decking will guide you through the process, helping you choose the best materials and styles to complement your deck and home.
Long Island Building Code & HOA Compliance
Certain privacy screens may require adherence to local building codes or HOA guidelines regarding height, material, or placement.
As a licensed Long Island contractor, Eled Decking handles:
-
Permit and code checks
-
Engineering when required
-
HOA approvals and submittals
-
Professional, safe installation
Custom Integration Into Your Deck Design
Rather than adding a privacy screen as an afterthought, we recommend integrating it into your deck’s design from the beginning. We can:
-
Build freestanding privacy structures that double as art or storage
-
Attach screens directly to railings, posts, or pergolas
-
Combine privacy screens with planters, lighting, or seating
-
Match screen materials to your deck boards, trim, or railings
No two decks—or privacy needs—are alike. That’s why every screen we install is custom-fit to your space and lifestyle.
