A retractable privacy screen that blocks UV rays and gives homeowners an easy way to keep neighbours at bay is on sale at Debenhams. The Living and Home Retractable Privacy Shield Awning, usually £102.99, has been reduced by 40% to £62.
Features and Benefits
Aside from adding privacy, the awning blocks UV rays for sun safety and is waterproof with a rust-proof metal frame. It can be placed on balconies, patios, and gardens, and requires only mounting into a stand pole fixed into the ground.
Alternative Options
For a more permanent solution, the Abasseen Willow Fence has been reduced from £26.99 to £23.99. This garden fence screening roll can be applied to existing fencing to add height and privacy. Alternatively, the SuQurtom Garden Privacy Netting on Amazon for £37.99 blocks 90% of visible light.

Considerations
One customer noted the screen can struggle under heavy winds, stating it acts like a giant sail, and advised not to fit the securing post at the maximum 3m distance to avoid strain on the unit. Another criticised the lack of base fixings on the primary unit but praised the screen: "Looks great, easy to operate and prevents our 'overly interested' neighbours from monitoring our every move and garden idea."
