Freestanding outdoor privacy screen to split shared balcony

$50

Surry Hills, New South Wales

11th Feb 2026

I moved into a new apartment (rental) and there is a shared balcony between the 2 bedrooms. I want to put a freestanding outdoor privacy screen in the middle of the balcony to split it into 2 and isolate the bedrooms that way for privacy. I am looking for someone to get and install this. As it is a rental, I do not want any drilling into the wall, hence why choosing a simple freestanding outdoor privacy screen Width from wall to balcony rail is 65-66 cm Height of balcony rail is 107 cm Ideally I want the freestanding outdoor privacy screen to go to around 170 cm So height 150-170 cm, width around balcony width It can be purchased or made, i dont mind. Whatever is easier

Unfortunately this didn’t go well at all. First appointment was aborted as he said he couldn’t get an Uber! A job that was promised to take 3 hours maximum took 7 hours over 2 visits, causing disruption. One of the doors is mounted 2cm too high, completely out of level with all other units. Will need to pay someone else to rectify and will leave more holes inside unit. Joe is a really nice guy but this was a very poor experience.
