Create a More Comfortable Outdoor Space With Added Privacy
A patio should feel like an extension of your home, not a space where you feel exposed to neighbors, street traffic, or constant sun. Eclipse patio privacy screens give Colorado homeowners more control over their outdoor spaces by adding privacy, reducing glare, and creating a more comfortable environment.
As an exclusive Eclipse Shading Systems dealer, Around The House Home Solutions can provide a custom screen solution designed around your patio layout, how you use your space, and the level of privacy you want.
Whether you want to enjoy a morning coffee without feeling visible to nearby homes or create a more comfortable outdoor gathering area, the right screen configuration can make your patio feel more like a true outdoor room.
How Patio Privacy Screens Work
Privacy screens use specialized screen fabrics with different opacity levels to control how much people can see into your outdoor space. Unlike a solid wall or enclosure, they provide separation while still allowing airflow and maintaining an open feel.
The right fabric depends on what you want your screen to accomplish:
More Privacy: Higher-opacity fabrics reduce visibility from outside and create a stronger visual barrier.
More Visibility: More open fabrics maintain a clearer view outward while still reducing glare and UV exposure.
Balanced Performance: Many homeowners choose a middle option that provides privacy without making the patio feel closed in.
During your consultation, we help you compare these options based on your property's layout, surrounding views, and how you use the space.
Privacy Screens That Also Help With Colorado Sun and Wind
Privacy is only one reason homeowners invest in exterior screens. Colorado patios often face intense afternoon sun, strong UV exposure, and changing wind conditions that can make outdoor spaces uncomfortable.
Eclipse screens help address several common patio challenges:
Reduce direct sunlight and glare
Create a buffer from wind
Add privacy from neighbors and nearby streets
Protect outdoor furniture from UV exposure
Make patios more comfortable during peak afternoon hours
For homeowners dealing primarily with heat and sun exposure, our exterior solar screens provide another option focused on reducing solar heat gain while maintaining visibility.
Choosing Between Privacy Screens and Solar Screens
The best screen depends on what problem you are trying to solve.
Privacy screens are ideal when your main concern is visibility. They use fewer open fabric options to limit sightlines and create a more secluded outdoor area.
Solar screens are better suited for homeowners focused on reducing heat and glare while preserving more of the outward view.
Some projects require a balance of both. During your estimate, we look at your property's surroundings and help you choose the screen fabric that fits your goals.
Where Patio Privacy Screens Make the Biggest Difference
Eclipse privacy screens work well in many outdoor living situations where homeowners want more comfort without fully enclosing the space.
Common applications include:
Covered Patios
Covered patios benefit from privacy screens that block unwanted views while keeping the space open and connected to the outdoors.
Pergola Openings
Patio screens can be installed along pergola sides to create additional privacy and protection from sun and wind.
Deck and Outdoor Living Areas
For elevated decks or patios near neighboring homes, privacy screens create a more comfortable setting for relaxing, dining, and entertaining.
Outdoor Commercial Spaces
Restaurants, offices, and hospitality spaces can use privacy screens to improve comfort and create more defined outdoor areas for customers and guests.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio Privacy Screens
Yes, the right Eclipse screen fabric can provide strong daytime privacy by limiting visibility from the outside while allowing you to see out from inside the screened area. Privacy levels vary by fabric openness:
3% openness: Maximum privacy with the strongest visual barrier.
5% openness: A balance of privacy, airflow, and outward visibility.
10% openness: More view-through with moderate privacy.
20% openness: Best outward visibility with less privacy.
During your consultation, we help you choose the fabric that fits your surroundings and how you use your patio.
Privacy screens perform differently after dark. When patio or interior lights are on, visibility can reverse, making it easier to see into the screened area from outside. For better nighttime privacy, consider your lighting placement and use softer or indirect lighting near the screen.
Not exactly. Privacy screens focus primarily on reducing visibility, while solar screens are designed to reduce heat and glare while maintaining a clearer outward view. Some fabrics can provide benefits in both areas.
Yes. Eclipse offers motorized screen options that allow you to raise and lower your screen with a remote, switch, or compatible control system. Motorization is especially useful for larger openings or frequently used patios.
In many cases, yes. During the consultation, we evaluate your existing structure, mounting surfaces, and opening dimensions to determine the best installation approach.
