Custom Privacy Screens & Trellis Installation

Add privacy and style to your outdoor space with custom trellises and privacy screens. Beautiful solutions that complement your deck or garden perfectly.

Define Space, Add Privacy, Create Character

Strategic vertical elements transform exposed decks into intimate outdoor rooms. Sun-In Builders designs custom trellises and privacy screens that solve real problems—neighbor sightlines, harsh wind, afternoon sun, or undefined zones.

Why Add Privacy Screens

Privacy Issues We Solve:

  • Neighboring windows overlooking your deck
  • Corner lot exposure from multiple directions
  • Lost tree coverage in winter
  • New construction eliminating natural screening

Additional Benefits:

  • Wind reduction (50-70% behind screens)
  • Shade from afternoon sun
  • Define separate deck zones
  • Add architectural interest
  • Support climbing plants
