Incorporate plants into your deck privacy with these ideas.
Backyard decks can be more inviting than you might think, but if you are here, then you already know that your deck can be a creative and beautiful outdoor living space. Are you looking to create more privacy on your backyard deck and a garden? Consider these deck planters for privacy for inspiration.
Adding Privacy to Your Deck This Spring
There are plenty of ways to add privacy to your deck. Lattices, outdoor shade structures with curtains, and horizontal board privacy screens are a few options. If you want to add some garden elements to your deck privacy screen, here are some ways to do it.
Deck Planter Ideas for Privacy
Evergreen Potted Plants
One of the simplest ways to create privacy using plants is to set a row of tall evergreen plants along the deck’s edge. The challenge is that you will need to tend to your potted evergreens, watering, trimming, and addressing plant diseases when necessary.
Lattice Screens with Attached Planters
Other popular deck planters for privacy are lattices with plant boxes attached at the bottom. One long, large plant box at the bottom of a lattice is the perfect place to grow climbing plants, vines, etc. Morning Glory, Ivy, and other species can be aggressive but will fully cover the lattice screen when tended to properly.
Privacy Screens with Plant Boxes
Some privacy screens consist of horizontal boards connected by vertical posts. You can attach plant boxes onto this panel in straight or staggered rows and grow the annuals or perennials of your choice.
Vertical Garden Walls
Vertical garden walls can make your backyard deck feel like a tropical paradise. A vertical garden wall uses multiple planters to grow plants closely together, making it look like the entire wall is nothing but living leaves.
Green Curtains on Pergolas
Would you like another idea? If you have a pergola on your deck, you can hang planters with plants that will trail over the edges and down to the deck floor, creating a green curtain.
