Choosing the Right Material
Aluminium garden screens are lightweight, rust-resistant and ideal for coastal areas or low-maintenance gardens. Powder-coated steel screens offer a strong, durable finish and are a popular option for boundaries and high-traffic outdoor spaces. For a more architectural look, Corten-style screens add warmth and character to contemporary garden designs.
Installation Tips
Most metal garden privacy screens are fitted using posts set into concrete, or securely fixed to a wall using brackets. For windy locations, deeper post footings and strong fixings are recommended to keep panels stable over time.
If you’re unsure which style or fixing method is best for your garden, our team can help you choose the right screen design based on your space, privacy needs and budget.
Frequently AskedQuestions
Yes, all our metal garden screens are designed for both internal and external use. They can be fixed horizontally or vertically depending on your requirements and are manufactured from premium materials suitable for UK weather conditions. Whether you're creating a decorative feature wall indoors or a privacy screen for your patio, our screens are built to perform beautifully in any environment.
We offer metal screens in 2mm flat aluminium for wall mounting applications, and 16mm folded variations for freestanding installations. The 16mm screens are better suited for privacy screens, partitions, or freestanding garden features and can be used with our aluminium posts that have channels for thorough support on both sides.
Yes, all our metal garden screens can be cut to your desired size without affecting the longevity of the product. The material is completely waterproof throughout, so newly cut edges will not require any additional treatment or paint. We can also provide bespoke sizing for both individual and trade projects.
Installation is straightforward. For wall or fence mounting, drill a pilot hole through the screen in the corners using a suitable metal drill bit, then use screws to attach. Wall plugs may be necessary depending on the wall type. For freestanding installations, our purpose-built aluminium posts with channels make setup even easier as screens simply slot into place.
Corten steel develops a natural protective rust patina over time, creating a rustic, warm aesthetic that changes uniquely with weather exposure. These screens can last 20-30 years and handle temperatures from -30°C to 50°C. Aluminium screens are powder-coated, lightweight, rust-resistant, and maintain their original finish with minimal maintenance. Both materials are laser-cut in the UK and suitable for outdoor use.
Yes, you can paint our screens to match your design theme. We recommend contacting us for paint recommendations to ensure maximum longevity. Note that painted screens may require annual maintenance, unlike our natural finishes. We also offer custom laser-cut designs, bespoke sizing, and can engrave names or house numbers for a personalized touch.
Our metal screens are specifically manufactured for UK weather conditions. Aluminium screens are powder-coated for weather protection and rust resistance, requiring minimal maintenance. Corten steel screens naturally develop a protective oxide layer when exposed to weather, making them self-protecting. Both materials are UV resistant, fully weatherproof, and designed to last for years without warping, fading, or requiring regular upkeep.
All our metal screens are made to order in our UK workshop and delivered after manufacturing. We offer competitive delivery times depending on our current production schedule, with free delivery on orders over a certain value. Contact us for current lead times and to discuss any urgent requirements you may have.
We offer an extensive collection of laser-cut designs ranging from geometric patterns and botanical motifs to contemporary and traditional styles. Our designs include trellis patterns ideal for climbing plants, privacy-focused dense patterns, and decorative artistic designs. With our advanced laser-cutting technology, we can also create fully custom designs to match your specific vision.
In many cases, no — garden privacy screens up to 2m high are often allowed without planning permission (or 1m if next to a road or public footpath). Rules can vary in conservation areas or for listed buildings, so it’s best to check with your local council if unsure.
