Balcony privacy & screening planters

A planter with integrated screening turns an exposed balcony into a private, green retreat — without drilling into the building or breaching body-corporate rules. Here's how to get privacy, greenery and good looks in a tight space.

Why planter-integrated screening

A freestanding planter-screen delivers privacy without fixing into the structure — ideal for apartments and strata where you can't (or don't want to) drill the building. You get greenery and a screen in one considered piece.

Screen options

• Laser-cut decorative panels — patterned screens that double as a feature.
• Batten / slat screens — clean, contemporary lines with adjustable openness.
• Living green screens — climbing plants trained over a frame for a soft, green wall.

Height & coverage

Set screen height to the sightlines you want to block — seated vs standing privacy differ. Balance privacy with light and views so the space stays pleasant.

Wind & weight on balconies

Higher up means more wind. Lightweight aluminium, stable proportions and (where needed) discreet fixing keep things safe. See how we handle rooftops & exposure.

Plant choices for screening

Choose hardy, wind-tolerant evergreens for year-round cover; we can advise pairings for your aspect and climate.

Finishes

Match the building or make a feature — any powdercoat colour. See benefits of aluminium.
