Timber Privacy Screens

Classic Woodturning makes decorative timber privacy screens that shelter gardens, patios and courtyards while adding a layer of period charm. From our Bayswater workshop in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, we have produced fretwork and laser-cut timber panels since 1984, drawing on the same ornamental traditions found on Victorian and Federation verandahs. Our screens filter sightlines and soften the afternoon sun without closing in your outdoor space, making them a popular choice for homeowners and landscapers across Melbourne and wider Victoria.

A good screen is as much about light and pattern as it is about privacy. The fretwork or lattice pattern you choose decides how much you see through the panel and how the shadows fall across a patio through the day, so a fine, dense design gives more seclusion while an open one keeps a courtyard feeling light. Because our patterns are drawn from heritage friezework, the same panels that screen a modern deck also sit comfortably against a period home.

Every privacy screen is custom manufactured, so panel sizes, fretwork patterns and framing can be tailored to your fence line, pergola or courtyard. Measuring is simple: give us the height and width of each opening and we will confirm framing and fixings to suit. We can reproduce a heritage friezework pattern to complement an existing home through our full matching service, or draw a fresh decorative design for a contemporary garden.

From compact courtyards behind inner-city terraces to open gardens in country Victoria and the leafy heritage suburbs between, our timber privacy screens suit a wide range of settings. Outdoor screens are generally made from LOSP H3 treated pine for durability in the Australian climate, and fixing to posts, a pergola or a fence is straightforward. We deliver Australia-wide from our Melbourne workshop. Contact our team to discuss patterns, panel dimensions, timber and lead times.
