Privacy Walls are a stylish and practical solution for homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor space in peace. At McMorris Decks & Structures, we design and build custom privacy walls that enhance comfort, block unwanted views, and create a sense of seclusion without sacrificing beauty. Whether you’re relaxing in your hot tub, hosting a dinner party, or just reading a book on your deck, our privacy walls help you do it all—comfortably and discreetly.
Why Privacy Matters in Outdoor Design
Your backyard should feel like a true extension of your home—a place where you can unwind, entertain, and be yourself. But with nearby neighbors or open landscapes, that level of comfort can be hard to achieve without the right structure in place.
Our privacy walls offer:
- Visual screening from adjacent properties
- Wind and sun protection
- Defined zones for hot tubs, dining areas, and lounging spaces
- Enhanced noise control
- Stylish backdrops for plants, lighting, or décor
We customize every wall to your space, style, and surroundings so it blends in beautifully while still doing its job.
Fully Custom Designs for Every Style
Not all privacy walls are created equal. We design ours to be both functional and beautiful, using quality materials and thoughtful layouts that enhance your outdoor space instead of boxing it in.
Here are a few of the styles and materials we offer:
| Style | Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Slatted Wood | Partial visibility, modern appeal | Urban homes and patios |
| Louvered Panels | Adjustable airflow and light | Hot tub areas and deck perimeters |
| Solid Timber Panels | Full coverage, rustic style | Rural properties and full privacy |
| Decorative Screens | Cut-out patterns, custom shapes | Accent walls and garden zones |
| Mixed Materials | Wood, metal, or composite combos | Contemporary design styles |
We can also match your wall to other existing features, such as custom decks, railings, or fencing.
Built for Utah’s Weather and Terrain
Salt Lake County’s seasonal shifts mean your outdoor structures need to be built to last. Our privacy walls are constructed with high-quality materials and proven techniques to withstand strong winds, snow loads, summer heat, and everything in between.
What we consider during construction:
- Local wind direction and sun exposure
- Proper drainage and waterproofing
- Secure footings and structural bracing
- UV- and weather-resistant finishes
- Material compatibility with decks and fences
Whether freestanding or built into a larger structure, your privacy wall will hold up to the elements and look great doing it.
Integrated with Your Outdoor Features
At McMorris Decks & Structures, we believe a privacy wall should feel like part of a complete, intentional space—not just a barrier. That’s why we often design them in combination with other backyard structures to create a cohesive layout.
Popular integration ideas:
- Add a wall near your in-deck hot tub or spa surround for extra comfort
- Include built-in bench seating and planters for form and function
- Frame your outdoor pergola or gazebo for a semi-enclosed retreat
- Extend from custom timber frames for rustic flair
- Create a defined border near outbuildings or pole barns for visual balance
- Connect to stairs, walkways, or railings for added structure and flow
We’re experts at bringing it all together into one seamless outdoor environment that works beautifully and lives comfortably.
Features That Add Even More Value
Privacy walls can serve more than one purpose. We often design them with multipurpose features that make your space more usable and enjoyable.
Consider these options:
- Built-in lighting – Set the mood and improve visibility at night
- Shelving or planters – Add greenery, herbs, or décor
- Hooks and hangers – Keep towels or tools within reach
- Decorative lattice – Support climbing plants or vines
- Custom height variations – Maintain privacy while preserving sightlines
Let us help you design a wall that’s not just functional, but part of the personality of your backyard.
