1. Height, openness and wind
Decide how much visual block you need versus airflow. Slatted and lattice panels cut glare without trapping heat. Solid sheets need stronger posts in windy suburbs.
2. Materials for UV and salt
Prefer UV-stabilised composites, powder-coated metal or well-oiled hardwoods. Coastal buyers should rinse salt and avoid untreated mild steel.
3. Mounting: fence, balcony or freestanding
Match hardware to posts, railings or deck joists. Measure spans carefully and leave expansion gaps for timber and composite in summer heat.
4. Style, climbers and care
Horizontal slats suit modern yards; lattice works with climbers for living privacy. Recheck fasteners after the first storm season.
