Although being outdoors immediately equates to public exposure, we are still entitled to protect our privacy when the need arises. Our home should primarily be a haven of comfort, not just creativity and aesthetics.

So in order to prioritize privacy without resorting to seclusion, here are wonderful pieces of outdoor furniture that would work well as cover-ups.

1. Fake rock enclosures

We all have experienced some difficulty in handling power cords and electrical plugs, much more with the technical systems that surround our house, such as centrifugal pumps, electric transformers, backflow assemblies, and more. The presence of these unsightly objects just ruins the theme of our garden or patio.

But through the help of fake rock enclosures, non design-related objects can be kept out of our guests’ sight.

2. Privacy Screens

Although being recognized is flattering, being given too much attention is still disturbing. In instances when we want to veer away from the prying eyes of our neighbors, privacy screens are outdoor furniture worth investing in.

We have the option of installing it directly to our patio for better longevity and durability.

And we can also opt for a detachable one in case we want to move it from one place to another.

3. Curtains

A curtain is the best outdoor furniture accessory that can provide some privacy and protection against flying bugs or uncontrollable wind breeze. Furthermore, curtains give a relaxing ambiance by providing us sufficient enclosure that is still visually appealing.

The most affordable yet creative style in incorporating curtains to our patio is by means of traditional draping. It highlights the softness of the fabric, especially on a windy day, which brings the look and feel of harmony.

Using curtains that can be rolled in, on another note, is easier to manage since it has a framework in itself. Most of the time, this type of curtain provides more shade and protection since the material is more stable.

4. Umbrellas

Exposure to the sun is good except when the heat is causing you a headache or skin burns. So to protect you and your family from harmful ultraviolet rays, umbrellas are staple outdoor furniture for this specific purpose.

Fortunately for us, most umbrellas available in the market include a tilting mechanism so that we can adjust the umbrella to an angle that provides us more shade. Umbrellas with this feature are typically those used in coffee shops, which are large enough to cover a four-seat table.

If we would need to seat even up to a total of twenty people, there are also larger umbrellas commonly referred to as garden tents. These are perfect for caterings, weddings, and other types of gatherings.

We don’t have to compromise our privacy just because we wish to stay outdoors. If you have other cover-ups that you can suggest, feel free to indicate them on your comments below.
