			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Outdoor patio privacy screens are a great way to help you feel more at home. For many people, the back yard isn’t as private as it could be. If you feel like your neighbors are watching you every time you step outside, it’s time to start looking for outdoor patio privacy screens. Backyard privacy screens are also beautiful decorative elements so it won’t be immediately obvious to your neighbors that you are trying to block their view of your patio. You can also use outdoor screens to obscure unsightly items from view, such as air conditioning units and gardening tools. Here are just a few examples:</p>

What to Look for in an Outdoor Privacy Screen:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Durability</strong>. These are similar in function to a room divider but there are a few key differences. First of all, a patio screen is purpose-built to withstand the elements that it may encounter outside such as sun, wind, rain, and snow. A privacy screen that is perfect for your living room might quickly rust or blow over if placed outdoors so be sure to get something that is made to stay outside for long periods of time.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Level of Privacy</strong>. If you want to be sure your neighbors can’t see you at all when you’re outside, you will need something opaque. On the other hand, perhaps you just feel really exposed sitting on your open patio and would like a barrier that makes your surroundings less visible without necessarily blocking them. In that case, a trellis with vines or a screen with small holes is a good option. These allow more light to pass through and help you feel more connected with the outdoors.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Portability</strong>. If you have one specific location where you like to sit, you can consider something permanent such as a screen that is anchored to the patio floor. This will ensure that your outdoor privacy screen does not get carried away in a storm. Some people prefer something more portable because they would like the option to relocate their screen as the need arises. Maybe you will want to move it around as the sun’s position changes or you want to remove it altogether when the neighbors are on vacation. In this case, opt for portable outdoor privacy screens but make sure they are very sturdy. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Sun exposure</strong>. If you live in a sunny area, be sure to choose something that can stand up to the sun’s rays. Remember that vibrant colors can fade with repeated sun exposure. If you would like to protect your skin from the sun, you can even find outdoor patio privacy screens that filter out UV rays. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Pool usage</strong>. One reason many people look for patio screens is to create a changing area near the swimming pool. If this is your intent, look for something that provides complete privacy. Many solid screens have adornments or holes way up at the top so they still look good and let light in while making sure you have the privacy you need. Also, consider that pool changing areas tend to get quite wet so look for something made of waterproof materials. </p>
<p>6.  <strong>Special types of outdoor privacy screens</strong>. While there are many beautiful versions of the standard privacy screen, your situation may call for a custom made screen. A good carpenter can make something that will meet your requirements and fit the existing décor. </p>
<p>If you are into gardening or have a lot of greenery in your yard, consider using a trellis or lattice with some vines or other plants. That way, you will not lose that outdoorsy feeling and you can enjoy the greenery while still having privacy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Outdoor privacy screens</strong> are a perfect and decorative solution to hide and disguise the many unsightly elements that find their way into the backyard. They can also serve as a yard divider between your yard and the neighbor’s yard. Outdoor screens are also an excellent way to create a private and secluded area.</p>
<p>Many backyards become the storage space for various items.  Trash cans, storage bins, recyclables, and air conditioning units can quickly turn a beautiful backyard into an unsightly mess.  Privacy screens for outdoors are a quick and affordable solution to this problem. Simply place the outdoor screens strategically around your yard to cover and camouflage less than attractive elements.</p>
<p>Others may use screens as simple divider between yards. Back yards without fences can quickly be separated by placing a couple of screens around the perimeter of the yard as a border. They can also be used in conjunction with existing fences that offer separation but not privacy. For example, chain link fences are not very private. A privacy screen can be used to create a sight barrier between the two yards which will allow additional privacy within the back yard.</p>
<p>Many backyards are home to fun elements that are more easily enjoyed in private. Create a secluded private area for your pool, spa, or sauna by surrounding it with privacy screens. This is perfect for people who wish to sunbathe without having the neighbors watching. Pool areas can easily use a few privacy screens for dressing areas or chemical storage. Wooden outdoor patio screens look particularly nice surrounding a pool and also look very natural.</p>
<p>Outdoor privacy screens are available in many different designs. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26ih%3D1%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F0%5F1.1739%5F29%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Doutdoor%2520privacy%2520screen%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&#038;tag=rodi-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957" rel="nofollow">Click here to view some different outdoor privacy screen models for inspiration. </a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rodi-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />The many available designs allow for endless customization.  Backyards can easily be tailored to individual tastes and preferences using these screens.  In fact the simple addition of these screens can help you to create a specific design style. Even people who have no specific use for these screens opt to place them in their yard for purely decorative purposes. Simply select a screen that is a desired style and use it in the back yard.  This is an easy strategy that will make any backyard unique.</p>
<div style="float:left;padding-right:10px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YNJF4S?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=rodi-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002YNJF4S" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://roomdividerguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/outdoorprivacyscreen.jpg"></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rodi-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002YNJF4S" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></div>
<p>Privacy screens are available with different levels of privacy. Some will create a solid wall through which nothing is visible. Others are transparent showing movement and shape but not specific details.  Other screens are more decorative and serve to create a boundary but do little to camouflage or create privacy. This way you can choose the level of privacy that is best for your specific needs.</p>
<p>Many outdoor screens require little maintenance.  If a low maintenance option is selected, it can be placed outdoors and then forgotten. It will not need painting nor will it rust, mildew, or rot. These screens can be very durable and often last for many years. If you are purchasing a <a href="http://roomdividerguide.com/">room divider</a> that is meant to be used indoors in hopes of placing it outside instead, be sure to consider whether it will be able to withstand the elements.</p>
<p>If you have already decided to buy an outdoor privacy screen, here are a few things you need to take into account. First, make sure the material is appropriate for the climate where you live. If it rains a lot, you want something waterproof or you are going to spend a lot of time moving the screen in and out of the yard. A resin outdoor privacy screen may be your best bet. If the screen is going to enclose a small space, height is a consideration. If you choose privacy outdoor screens that are too tall, that space will only end up feeling even smaller. If you want a screen to match <a href="http://homerugs4u.com/how-to-choose-outdoor-rugs-for-your-home">outdoor rugs</a> or other existing decorative elements in your yard, consider getting a custom yard screen made. Finally, if your yard is very sunny, avoid bright colors that can fade quickly after sitting in the sun for a short period of time. Some <a href="http://roomdividerguide.com/outdoor-patio-privacy-screens/">outdoor patio privacy screens</a> are UV-resistant which is also a good choice for sunny yards.</p>
<p>Outdoor privacy screens can open an endless possibility of outdoor design ideas.  These screens are an effective and unique way to customize your space while disguising undesired elements.</p>
