8 Creative Ways to Use Timber Screens in Your Garden

2. Set the Outdoor Kitchen Apart

There are a handful of good reasons timber screens are great for demarcating an outdoor kitchen:

• Can serve as a barbecue splashback
• Lets air flow through
• Adds visual interest

Don’t be surprised if your timber screen becomes the talk of the town at your next garden barbecue.

3. Spice Up a Blank Space

Does your pool cabana look too boring for your tastes? Jazz it up with decorative timber screens, and complement it with suitable furnishings and pot plants.

TIP: Pair a timber screen with panels made of different materials, such as metal and stone, for a one-of-a-kind look.

4. Add a Contemporary Touch
