How high can privacy screens made of rust be?
Buildings exceeding 180 cm in height require a building permit. This also applies to privacy fences, regardless of their material, as soon as they border public areas such as roads.
Can my neighbor forbid me from having a rusty privacy screen in my garden?
This depends on local laws, regulations, and agreements. If in doubt, consult the relevant authorities or a legal advisor to ensure you are not violating any regulations. Often, this concerns the height of the privacy screen, while the surface material—whether it's made of weathered steel or another treated material—is usually of secondary importance. In any case, obtain your neighbors' consent. In many cases, open and friendly communication with your neighbors helps to avoid potential conflicts.
How is a rust-resistant privacy screen attached?
No in-depth technical expertise is required to install your metal privacy fence. You can mount the rust-effect privacy screen for your garden to existing posts or attach it to suitable steel posts. These can be ordered separately in the shop under "Posts & Accessories". Wall mounting using rails is also possible.
Does a metal privacy screen with a rusted look require maintenance?
No, a privacy screen made of rust requires no special maintenance, as it is made of weather-resistant metal. If necessary, you can remove any dirt with a cloth and warm water.
Can I accelerate the rust formation?
We advise against artificially accelerating rust formation with rust accelerators or other means, as this will prevent the rust patina from developing harmoniously. Be patient – over time, the weather will naturally cause your metal privacy screen to rust.

Elegant rust: attractive appearance, high stability
Rust-effect finishes are trending and have a lasting impact on current garden design. A metal privacy screen that develops a natural and rustic rust patina over time is a special decorative element for your garden and boasts high stability. This patina forms on the metal surface. It develops through controlled oxidation of the metal and gives the privacy screen a characteristic rust-brown or reddish colour – just like corten steel.

Thanks to its rustic look, a privacy screen made of rusted metal is ideal for combining with other materials such as wood or stone.
3 ideas for designing your privacy screen:
- Between stone pillars: Place your rusted privacy screens between stone pillars or gabions to create a unique privacy fence. The rust patina harmonizes perfectly with the stone.
- Illuminate:Your rusted privacy screen becomes a highlight in the evening when you illuminate it with spotlights or solar lights.
- Plant: A good design idea is to alternate hedges or shrubs with privacy screens. This softens the overall look and simultaneously protects against prying eyes. A privacy screen made of Corten steel looks particularly attractive and modern, giving the garden a unique industrial charm.
