Designer Plants Five Key Technologies
Five material technologies engineered into every Designer Plants specimen. Built to hold colour, finish and density in Australian conditions.
Balcony privacy screens from Designer Plants tie to a balustrade or stand on their own frame, so renters and strata residents can screen a balcony with no drilling and no soil. Rolls with privacy backing, 1m x 1m hedge panels and portable hedges suit apartments and townhouses, with FireTex options tested to AS/NZS 1530.3 where a building requires fire-tested materials.
Choosing Artificial Balcony Privacy Screens for Apartments and Townhouses
On a balcony, privacy has to work within tight limits: a fixed balustrade, wind at height, weight limits and body corporate rules that often rule out drilling. The range covers a 3m x 1m boxwood roll with privacy backing at $219.95, a 3m x 1m ivy leaf screen with shade cloth backing at $74.95, 1m x 1m hedge panels from $79.95 and portable hedges from 100cm x 50cm, all far lighter than soil-filled planters. For more on apartment balcony privacy, see our guide to artificial plants for strata and apartment balconies.
Screening a balustrade
A roll ties along the top and bottom rails of a railing balustrade in one continuous run, which is quicker than joining panels across a 3m balcony. Behind a glass balustrade, freestanding portable hedges screen the view with no fixing at all. Above the screen, hanging plants from a ceiling hook add greenery at eye level without using floor space.
Wind, sun and height
Tie screens every 30cm along each rail so the foliage cannot lift in a gust, and check the ties after the first strong wind. Rolls and panels carry UVTex, with UV inhibitors bonded within the leaf, which suits an exposed north or west facing balcony. On higher floors, stand portable hedges against a wall or rail rather than in open space.
Strata rules and fire requirements
Many apartment buildings set rules on what can be attached to a balcony, and some require fire-tested materials, so check with the strata or building manager before ordering. The FireTex range is tested to AS/NZS 1530.3 with a Spread of Flame Index of 0 and includes garland bushes that run along a rail. Group 1 certified panels to AS 5637.1 are made to order on quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you attach a privacy screen to a balcony without drilling?
UV-stable cable ties around the top and bottom rails hold a roll or panel firmly and cut away cleanly when you move. Behind glass balustrades, freestanding portable hedges do the job without any fixing. Neither option leaves marks on the building.
Are balcony privacy screens allowed in strata buildings?
Rules vary by building, so check the by-laws or ask the strata manager before ordering. Some buildings restrict anything visible from the street or above the balustrade line, and some require fire-tested materials on balconies. Having the product’s fire tier and standard on hand makes the approval conversation quicker.
Will an artificial privacy screen blow off a balcony?
Not when it is tied every 30cm along each rail, top and bottom. Wind loads increase with height, so check ties after the first strong gust and replace any that have stretched. Rolls with privacy backing catch more wind than open-leaf panels, which makes secure fixing more important on upper floors.
Are balcony privacy screens fire rated?
Some are, so check each product for its tier and standard. FireTex products are tested to AS/NZS 1530.3 with a Spread of Flame Index of 0, and Group 1 certified panels to AS 5637.1 are made to order on quote. The standard range is fire tested to AS/NZS 1530.3; confirm the tier your building requires before ordering.
Should I choose a roll or panels for my balcony?
A roll suits a railing balustrade, since one 3m x 1m piece covers a typical balcony run with no joins. Panels suit a solid wall or a timber privacy frame, and cut cleanly around corners and downpipes. Portable hedges suit glass balustrades and rentals where nothing can be fixed.
What artificial plants suit a balcony besides a screen?
Hanging plants and garlands lift greenery off the floor, which matters on a narrow balcony, and UV resistant potted plants fill the corners. Our guide to making a balcony a space you actually want to use covers layouts. Choose products with UV Resistant in the title for any balcony that takes direct sun.
