In brief: installing a screening roll takes 5 steps: choose the model (PVC, bamboo or willow) based on the support and the level of privacy you want, measure the length to cover allowing a little extra, prepare a flat, even support, secure the top of the roll with wire on the outside of the fence, then unroll it while keeping it taut and fasten it every 40 cm. Wire cutters and wire are all you need.
What is a privacy screening roll?
A privacy screening roll is a roll that you unroll and attach to an existing support—rigid mesh fencing, flexible mesh fencing, a low wall or panels—to keep out of sight. It comes in PVC, bamboo or willow, in heights from 1 m to 1.75 m and lengths from 3 to 5 m. It is an attractive, easy-to-install privacy solution that only requires wire cutters and wire.
Step 1: Choose the right screening roll model
For the best result, it is essential to choose the right screening roll model based on your support (rigid mesh fencing, flexible mesh fencing, low wall, panels, etc.) and the level of privacy you want. At Cloture Discount, you will find many roll-out screening rolls from 1 m high, available in several styles:
- PVC screening rolls for a privacy-screen effect
- Bamboo screening rolls for natural privacy
- Willow screening rolls: privacy and eco-friendly
Our screening rolls come in many different colours (green, grey, anthracite, etc.) and materials to blend harmoniously into your garden. For more choice, Districlos offers privacy-screen models in natural screening rolls or PVC.
PVC, bamboo or willow: summary of the three ranges
| Screening roll model | Desired look | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| PVC screening roll | Privacy-screen effect | Synthetic material; keep it taut when unrolling |
| Bamboo screening roll | Natural privacy | Natural look |
| Willow screening roll | Privacy screening | Privacy and eco-friendly |
These models come in several colours (green, grey, anthracite, etc.) and are available from 1 m high. Your choice depends on the support (rigid mesh fencing, flexible mesh fencing, low wall, panels, etc.) and the level of privacy you want.
Step 2: Measure the length to be screened off accurately
Before ordering, measure the total length to be screened off accurately by following your support. Allow a little extra for cuts and minor mistakes.
Our screening rolls are available in standard heights from 1 m to 1.75 m, in lengths from 3 to 5 m. Before you start installing your screening rolls, make sure you size your rolls correctly.
Step 3: Prepare the support and gather the materials
Before installing your screening rolls, check the condition of your support and replace any damaged elements (posts, cut mesh, etc.). Remove any branches and plants that stick out to obtain a flat, even support. Installing screening rolls does not require any specific tools: wire cutters and wire are all you need.
Step 4: Secure the top of the screening roll
Place your screening roll horizontally against the fence, on the outside. Secure the screening roll to the support at the top of the mesh using a first wire.
To attach it, secure the first side with wire about 3 times along the height. Do not hesitate to pull the screening roll tight to prevent it from sagging over time.
Step 5: Unroll the screening roll and secure it regularly
Unroll the screening roll gradually along the support, keeping the PVC taut. Every 40 cm, secure the screening roll using wire passed behind a bar of the mesh. Unroll to the end of the length or up to a post.
If you have several rolls to install, repeat steps 4 to 6 along the rest of the length. Make sure to align the patterns on the different rolls for a uniform final result. If necessary, overlap by around 10 cm at the joins.

What supports can a screening roll be installed on?
A screening roll can be installed on rigid mesh fencing, flexible mesh fencing, a low wall or panels. Before installation, check the condition of the support, replace any damaged elements (posts, cut mesh) and remove any branches and plants that stick out to obtain a flat, even surface.
