Choosing the Right Screen Design

 

Effective garden subdivision begins with selecting the appropriate design. AHL Group supplies several available styles to accommodate every garden:  

Modern Minimalism: Create a clean, contemporary appearance by choosing simple geometric patterns such as the mesh texture AHL-SP02 or the rectangular openwork texture AHL-SP33.

• Natural Botanicals: Flower and leaf patterns (such as the palm leaf texture AHL-SP03 or leaf texture AHL-SP11) are complementary to the garden's natural elements.  

• Abstract Art: Irregular abstract shapes like AHL-SP23 and AHL-SP29 produce audacious artistic effects, turning the optical barrier itself into a visual focal point.

 



Dividing Your Garden Zones

 

Weathering steel screens divide the garden into functional zones. A single screen separates the dining area from the lounge, while multiple screens placed side by side create tranquil contemplative spaces, forming true “gardens within gardens”.  

 



Adding Greenery for Softening and Privacy

 

Vegetation will soften the industrial feeling of the Corten steel as well as increase privacy. Allow climbing plants like ivy to grow through the screen's gaps, and you'll have a living, seasonal plant wall. For a sense of depth, position AHL-CP09 and AHL-CP11 Corten planters at variable heights in front of the garden screen. Bamboo and dense foliage are planted to provide layering and screen unsightly views.

Creating an Artistic Ambiance with Lighting

 

AHL's Corten steel screen panels are artistic sculptures that create fascinating lighting effects when illuminated from behind. Installing recessed lighting strips or lamps behind the panels produces striking visual impacts at night. Patterns such as the fish design of AHL-SP13 or the circular motif of AHL-SP30 lend gardens an air of refined elegance.

 



Designing Portable Screens

 

For maximum flexibility, movable screens are available. Attached by wheels or portable stands, they can be easily relocated for the following applications:  

• Temporary privacy screens in residential properties  

• Seasonal protection for plants against strong sunlight and winds

 



Using Screens as Sun Shades

 

During the summertime, Corten metal screens combine privacy with providing much-needed shade. It is advisable to select designs with less light penetration, such as the vertical lines of the AHL-SP38 model or the dense texture of the AHL-SP19 model. Cleverly arranged screens will prevent direct sunlight, creating a comfortable and relaxing retreat on balconies or patios.

Integrating with Water Features

 

Corten metal screens can be used to achieve a truly peaceful atmosphere when combined with water features. Positioning the screen as a background for a small fountain or pond creates a wonderful contrast between the rusted steel's bright copper patina and the flowing water. The surface reflections of the screen's patterns evoke the tranquillity of a meditative garden.

 



Matching Outdoor Furniture

 

To achieve a coherent and aesthetically attractive appearance, selecting furniture that complements Corten steel garden screens is crucial. The patina on the screens harmonises beautifully with deep grey, beige, or dark timber surfaces. Geometric screens, such as the AHL-SP35, are used in conjunction with minimalist chairs featuring similar structural elements to emphasise visual harmony.

 



Embracing Seasonal Changes

 

Corten steel is suitable for all seasons. In spring and summer, the vibrant greenery of climbing plants engages in a lively dialogue with the screen's weathered surface. As vegetation enters fall and winter dormancy, the screen's distinctive structure and color are brought into sharper relief, making it an enduring and elegant garden feature.

FAQs About Corten Privacy Screens

 



Does Corten Steel rust? How Should It Be Maintained?
