garage privacy screen upgrade - clarkson
This job in Clarkson was all about fixing a pretty common problem we see in newer homes - too much visibility between the garage, backyard, and street.
When the roller door was open, you could see straight through the garage into the backyard. At the same time, from the backyard you were looking straight at everything stored in the garage. So it felt exposed no matter which way you were standing.
The goal here was simple: close it all off properly without making it feel boxed in.
What We Installed
For this Clarkson garage enclosure, we completed:
Full-height aluminium slat privacy screens across the rear of the garage
Custom pedestrian gate integrated into the screen line
Secure fixing into the existing garage structure for strength and stability
This turned an open garage pass-through into a fully enclosed and private garage-to-backyard space.
Problem: Two-Way Visibility Between Garage, Backyard & Street
The main issue on this project was visibility from both directions:
Street to backyard visibility
When the garage roller door was open, there was a direct line of sight from the street into the backyard outdoor area.
Backyard to garage visibility
From the backyard, the garage contents were clearly visible, reducing privacy and the overall finished feel of the space.
This is a very common layout issue in Clarkson and other Perth suburbs where garages open directly into outdoor living areas.
On-Site Installation & Structural Fixing
This was a straightforward install in terms of structure, but still required careful on-site fitting to ensure everything aligned cleanly with the existing garage opening.
Measured and installed on site for a clean fit
Integrated directly into the rear garage opening
Securely fixed into the existing garage structure for strength and durability
Finished with a matching pedestrian gate for access
Aluminium Slat screens– Built for Perth Conditions
We used aluminium slats designed for long-term performance in Perth conditions.
Key benefits include:
Corrosion-resistant aluminium suitable for coastal areas like Clarkson
Strong, rigid system suitable for garage enclosure applications
Low maintenance (no rusting, warping, or repainting required)
Privacy screening while still allowing airflow
This makes aluminium slat fencing ideal for garage privacy screens and backyard enclosure projects.
Result: Fully Enclosed Garage Privacy Upgrade
The finished installation significantly improved both privacy and usability of the space.
The property now benefits from:
No direct street view into the backyard when the roller door is open
No visibility of garage contents from the outdoor area
A fully enclosed garage-to-backyard connection
Improved privacy and security
