Take inspiration from the following outdoor wall ideas, including pool walls, outdoor privacy screens and even backdrops for your outdoor kitchen. In addition, take your outdoor wall to the next level with customisations such as lighting, tiling or even painting a colour combination.
Is a pool feature wall the wow factor your backyard needs?
A pool wall or pool feature wall could be the answer to transforming your backyard design and solving your privacy or noise issues. ModularWalls offers two fantastic solutions with aluminium posts, making them perfect for a pool feature wall.
- SlimWall reaches heights up to 2.1 metres and has a 50mm thick panel.^*
- TrendWall reaches heights up to 3 metres and has a 75mm thick panel.*
Generally, reaching heights over two metres can often block your neighbour’s line of sight into your backyard, giving you the privacy you desire. Subsequently, the higher the pool wall, the better it will reduce noise between yards. Unlike a timber fence with gaps between the palings, ModularWalls’ pool walls and fences are solid panels. As a result, noise transference reduces up to 25 decibels (25dB).
If you have neighbours exceptionally close to your backyard pool, then a section of SlimWall or TrendWall could be the perfect solution. As can be seen below, the pool wall runs the length of the pool to offer privacy and block the neighbour’s view into the pool area.
Similarly, this SlimWall pool wall below runs from the outdoor entertaining area to just past the end of the pool. The result is a stunning pool wall to match the pool’s aesthetic. Not to mention the wall blocks the line of sight from the next-door neighbours, and the tall wall height helps reduce noise travelling between yards.
Outdoor wall ideas to complete your yard
If you don’t have a pool, there are still many outdoor wall ideas to maximise your outdoor space. Firstly, whether opting for professional installation or DIY, ModularWalls make fantastic:
- Privacy screens
- Feature walls
- Outdoor kitchen or dining area backdrops and more.
Regardless of the purpose of your outdoor wall, ModularWalls offers two other systems apart from SlimWall and TrendWall. These are:
- VogueWall reaches heights up to 3 metres and has a 75mm thick panel.*
- EstateWall reaches heights up to 3 metres and has a 75mm thick panel.* EstateWall has our widest posts to emulate the look of a rendered masonry wall.
Suppose you have an area in your backyard you would like to utilise as an entertaining area that’s currently in full view of neighbours or the street. ModularWalls can easily act as a privacy screen to create a sense of seclusion. They can also be installed in front of the existing fence if needed, as seen below in Three Birds Renovations House 11.
