Privacy Screening Solutions: Your Deck, Your Sanctuary in St George, Sutherland Shire & Wollongong

Privacy Screening as Part of a Considered Outdoor Renovation
Privacy screens are often a critical design and compliance element in modern outdoor renovations.
Whether required for Council approval, overlooking regulations or simply to improve comfort, privacy screening should be thoughtfully integrated — not added as an afterthought.
At Venom Construction, we design and construct privacy screens as part of cohesive outdoor renovations, ensuring they complement your deck, pergola or alfresco area both structurally and aesthetically.
Designed for Compliance & Comfort
In many residential areas, privacy screens are required to meet Council or approval conditions — particularly for elevated decks or properties with close neighbouring boundaries.
We consider:
-
Overlooking requirements
-
Height and setback restrictions
-
Structural integration with the deck or pergola
-
Wind loading and fixing requirements
Beyond compliance, well-designed privacy screening can also:
-
Improve usability of outdoor spaces
-
Reduce visual exposure
-
Create defined, intimate zones within larger backyards
The result is a space that feels intentional and comfortable — not enclosed or obstructive.


Materials & Design Options
Privacy screens can be constructed in a range of materials to suit the overall renovation design:
Timber Screens: Natural, warm finishes that integrate seamlessly with timber decks.
Composite Screens: Durable, low-maintenance solutions that pair well with composite decking systems.
Aluminium Slatted Screens: A popular modern option offering clean lines, durability and minimal maintenance. Aluminium systems are particularly well suited to contemporary homes and bushfire-prone areas where non-combustible materials may be required.
Louvre Screens: Adjustable or fixed systems allowing controlled light and airflow.
Material selection is guided by structural requirements, BAL ratings (where applicable) and overall architectural cohesion.
Integrated, Not Standalone
We construct privacy screens as part of complete outdoor projects — including decks, pergolas, stairs and balustrades.
This ensures:
-
Structural alignment
-
Consistent material detailing
-
Cohesive visual outcomes
-
Compliance across the entire build
Our focus is delivering outdoor spaces that function as a unified renovation, rather than disconnected additions.
