Hinged-Panel Screens

Available in a range of styles and sizes, hinged-panel screens double as trash concealers and attractive architectural accents. The best performers are constructed of exterior-grade cedar, natural bamboo or steel-framed, heavy-duty resin construction.

Some screens have integrated planters perfect for displaying our faux exterior impatiens, flowering gardenia, Japanese boxwood ball topiaries or colorful onion grass bushes.

Latticework Panels

Love the idea of latticework panels but want something to cover the gaps? Weave in our 9.5-foot bougainvillea garlands. They’re covered with 259 UV Limited leaves and eye-catching blooms in your choice of six true-to-life colors.

Trellises as Trash Corrals
