For nearly complete outdoor privacy, you can't do much better than an enclosed gazebo. Nestled in the landscape and screened to keep out bugs, this structure makes a comfortable and private refuge. They come in various sizes and styles to suit your backyard’s aesthetic.

Try an all-season gazebo for outdoor privacy year round. Completely enclosed, it offers protection from the chilly winter winds.

A pergola offers a taste of the great outdoors without a feeling of confinement. Because they are freestanding, they can be easily moved if you decide to change the layout of your backyard. They also provide shelter from the wind and rain.
 
Tip: Cover the structure with vines (or grapevines, if you'd like a tasty treat as well as a sense of seclusion).

Don't have room for a pergola? Try a vine-covered arbor. When seated on the bench, guests are virtually invisible to anyone behind or to the side of the arbor, but still retain a view of their garden.

It may seem like a stretch, but a patio umbrella provides plenty of privacy from second-story windows, particularly those of neighbouring houses. Of course, you also gain protection from sun and rain, as well as an attractive addition to your outdoor decor.

You can get a tilted patio umbrella, which is ideal if you want privacy in a particular area of your yard. They are also available freestanding or patio table-compatible.

A small-grid lattice offers a sense of seclusion, especially when fronted by potted plants and shrubs. These lattice screens act as a makeshift fence to protect from the weather or any nosy neighbours. Plus, there are a variety of patterns of lattice to choose from so you don’t have to stick with the classic crossed lattice pattern.
 
Tip: Add curtains for greater privacy or to block out chilly wind.
