When I think of privacy fences, for some reason the first thing that pops to my mind are those terrible walls that you see on the side of a highway which are likely created to contain the noise of the highway. If someone steers my thinking to a privacy fence for a hot-tub, I generally think of something that looks like 3 8-foot fence walls that are bought at Lowes or Home Depot and put together to create hot tub privacy on 3-walls.
At Archadeck of Austin, this is just one of their specialties. Take a look at some of these photos to dispel the myth that privacy fences and enclosures need to look functional. Functional can be really beautiful if designed right.
This hot tub enclosure is designed with a cover for shade, one privacy wall to hide the surrounding fence, two partially open sides, an adjoining bar, and an open side for easy access to the hot tub from the deck.
Here’s another view from the side.
One of the nice things about the way they design privacy enclosures in the Austin office is they only put full privacy walls where needed. If you look at the back of this picture, you will only see a partial privacy wall. This privacy wall is designed to block only what they don’t want to see – which is over the barrier fence. The pergola provides a great structure to attach the partial privacy wall to.
One of the things that can make a privacy wall an eyesore is how it’s finished at the top. In Austin, they often finish the privacy walls with a pergola style top as you see here. This wall is a beautiful and very functional addition to the stone wall.
