Top Privacy Screens related questions

While some people choose to DIY, it’s safest to hire a professional with the expertise, skills and tools to get the job done properly the first time.

The most popular locations include bin areas, thanks, and any areas with exposed plumbing. People also often use privacy screens for their decks and patios, as well as a backdrop for their gardens.

Currently, timber decking privacy screens are very popular. Merbau or kwila hardwood is especially popular because of its durability and aesthetic qualities.

If you are planning on building a very high privacy screen, it’s best to get advice from your local council and look up the building codes and standards of your state.

A privacy screen limits an outsider’s view and is also used for décor purposes. A fence is usually longer, as it forms a barrier that creates a border and defines an area. Some fences (like Colorbond fencing) are private, while others offer very little privacy.

On Airtasker, a privacy screen installation service is usually between $150-$160. But you could pay more or less than this depending on the type of privacy screen, the size of the screen, and how long it’ll take to install.

What does a privacy screen install include?

Privacy screen installation methods will vary depending on where you’d like your screen installed and what kind of screen you want. Whether you’d like a patio, deck, garden, caravan, balcony, or indoor privacy screen, your installer will bring their own tools to get the job done Here are the most common services and what you can expect:


Installing with a post system

Timber post systems are popular outdoor privacy screens for gardens, townhouses, caravans, and apartments with shared spaces. Your contractor will first measure the width of your screen panels and mark the corresponding position for the posts on the ground. Next, they’ll dig the holes deep enough to hold a third of your posts before placing the posts and filling the hole with concrete. Once the concrete has set, the holes are covered with dirt. For aluminium screens, your handyman will then hold brackets up to the screen’s frame, pre-drill holes on either side of the frame, and screw the brackets on. Finally, they’ll attach the screen to the brackets and secure it with screws.


Installing on existing rail

Adding a privacy screen to your existing rail is ideal for decks, patios, balconies, and verandas. Your installer will first measure the width of the screen panels and add any additional posts that are needed to support your screen. Then they’ll hold the brackets up to the frame, pre-drill holes on either side of the frame, and screw the brackets on. They’ll attach the screen to the brackets using screws.


Bamboo screens

Bamboo privacy screens are normally hung off a fence or wall. Your installer will start by installing screw eyes horizontally across the area where the bamboo screen will be installed. They’ll use three screw eyes for each individual bamboo screen. They’ll run wire through the screw eyes and tie the wire off, removing any kinks in the process. Next, they’ll roll out the bamboo screen along the wall and use a crimping tool and netting clips to clamp the clips along the wire fence and secure the bamboo screen.

Hi, I'm looking for an experienced handyman to install a black/charcoal mesh privacy screen along an existing timber lattice fence separating the main house and granny flat. Job details: Fence length: approximately 8 metres Height: approximately 1.4 metres Install black privacy mesh (shadecloth mesh), similar to products available at Bunnings The existing timber lattice fence must remain in place The mesh should be installed on the same side as the trees, along the existing fence I found these materials, but happy to go with your suggestion. https://www.bunnings.com.au/coolaroo-1-83-x-3m-blackslate-90-uv-block-privacy-and-shade-screening-shade-cloth_p0471724 https://www.factoryfast.com.au/products/20m-x-2m-fence-windscreen-privacy-screen-shade-cover-black-fabric-mesh-garden Photos of the existing fence and proposed design are attached.

Install privacy screening over chain link fence

$500

Clovelly NSW 2031, Australia

14th Oct 2026

I’m looking for a handyman or carpenter to install attractive vertical privacy screening over two existing chain-link fence sections along one side of my garage in Clovelly. The aim is to conceal the neighbouring garage and improve the appearance of the space. I’d like a neat, contemporary finish, preferably vertical battens in charcoal, black or dark grey. Dimensions: • Section 1: 190 cm high × 172 cm wide • Section 2: 190 cm high × 154 cm wide • Total width to be screened: 326 cm • The sections are separated by a projecting brick pillar, which does not need to be covered. Preferred materials and finish: I’ve been looking at Ekodeck vertical batten panels (180 × 60 cm) from Bunnings, but I’m open to similar-looking alternatives, particularly if they’re more economical or easier to install. The screening doesn’t need to cover every centimetre of the fence. Small gaps around the edges or at the top/bottom are fine. The priority is a tidy, attractive finish that provides reasonable visual privacy. Existing structure and installation requirements: The chain-link fencing has a substantial metal perimeter frame, with vertical posts at either end of each section, but no intermediate horizontal supports. Importantly, the metal fence and frame are common property and must not be drilled into, cut, damaged or permanently altered. However, fixings can be drilled into the brickwork within my garage if needed. Ekodeck panels require supporting rails, so some additional timber framing may be necessary. I’m happy to consider a simple, economical timber support structure, or another installation method that doesn’t damage the existing fence. What I’m looking for: Someone who can recommend a practical, cost-effective solution, source or advise on suitable materials, and complete the installation. I’d appreciate quotes that distinguish between labour and materials.

Coolaroo Gazebo Privacy Screen fix , and deck side board screwed.

$350

Point Cook VIC 3030, Australia

13th Oct 2026

I have a Coolaroo Fairhaven Gazebo. My installer did not properly put in the privacy screen, as it was not going up and down properly (not rolling all the way down to the bottom). And now I cannot reach them anymore and I need to fix this. May be related to two issues: the privacy screen not installed correctly, and/or the front posts are not completely vertically aligned. I am looking for someone to either install properly the privacy screen on the front (ideally), or move it to the back side, where the posts are vertically aligned correctly. Note: The screws thread that hold the screen attached to the top may be worn and you need to remove the screws and replace with other screws. The photos show the privacy screen, and the side channels (currently unmounted on the deck). These need to be mounted to the side of the posts, so the screen slides through the channel. Also the side board on the deck (the one close to the fence) has not been 100% properly screwed in, and needs to be attached properly. (the space to put in screws is tight given the fence on the right, but fence can be removed if that is the easiest).

Great help. Nice guy all around. He came up with inventive ways to solve the issue with my gazebo. Highly recommended
