ᐅ Wall as a privacy screen

Good evening.

I have been thinking a lot because our terrace faces the street side (turning bay), and we want some type of privacy screen.
I would like a drywall structure, about 2 meters high with masonry elements, link removed.

Has anyone had experience with something like this? What costs should we roughly expect? The heights will vary, but should be between approximately 1.50 m (5 feet) and 2.00 m (6.5 feet), and about 5.00 m (16.5 feet) long.

I also welcome any other great suggestions.

Does the zoning plan even allow that?

We are lucky that there are very few regulations here. 🙂

However, here you are regulated by the terms and conditions: Links are not allowed! 😉

A bonded masonry system is relatively expensive. I did some research myself, and the cheapest, though not very attractive, system costs 50 €/sq m (approximately 4.65 USD/sq ft). The foundation cost is additional.

Regards, Yvonne

A bonded masonry system like that is relatively expensive. I looked into it myself, and the cheapest, not exactly the most attractive system costs 50 €/sqm (about $55 per sq ft). On top of that comes the foundation.

Oh, okay. I’ll behave from now on. 😉

I’m afraid it will be too expensive overall. But I don’t want those basic wooden trellises. We’re lucky to still have a bit of time. 🙂

Use a hedge or a nice climbing plant to cover the standard fence.
Welded wire mesh or stacked wood also looks nice 😉
