Hello,
We are planning to install a privacy screen soon on the terrace in front of our semi-detached houses (the left side belongs to my brother, the right side to me).
As you can see, a glass privacy screen is already installed for the two rented upper units.
For the lower level, we intended to use larger Trespa / HPL panels in aluminum gray, mounted on each side of the balcony supports. Approximately 180cm (71 inches) high and about 70cm (28 inches) less deep than the terrace depth (so roughly up to the front support).
In extension of this privacy screen, a double wire mesh fence will be installed on the boundary line next week, which will stand about 120cm (47 inches) above ground level in front of the terrace. A suitable gate is planned near the terrace here. Unfortunately, the space between the front support and the terrace edge is only about 70cm (28 inches), which is too narrow for a proper gate. The fence itself is mainly intended to keep the neighbor’s dog on the ground floor contained, not as a privacy screen. Relevant plants will be planted partially for privacy.
Current delivery times and prices for Trespa or HPL from other suppliers now have us considering alternatives 😕
To illustrate, two pictures show the current condition and the planned privacy screen.
Stone (masonry / gabions) could be an option for us, but it probably wouldn’t be cheaper.
Wood (double-sided rhombus cladding) including substructure would also not be cheaper and is not desired, as it does not match the house aesthetically.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be installed here as an alternative? The dimensions of the privacy screen would be about 180cm (71 inches) high and 270cm (106 inches) deep.

I’d say, leave out the partition for now… it’s your brother after all…Yes, but he doesn’t live there. It is currently rented to his son, who has a Belgian Shepherd dog. The dog should be able to run freely, so the privacy screen also needs to serve as a barrier.

I would try to make it solid and attach rhombus battens on it. Perhaps also include the option for planting greenery right away.
