Some privacy issues can’t be solved by anything that sits at standard railing height. When the view that bothers a homeowner is coming from a second-floor window, from a deck on a house at the same elevation, or from a property that sits higher than the yard, the line of sight clears the railing entirely. A privacy wall is what we install when the privacy fix needs to extend above railing height to actually block what the homeowner is trying to block.
Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living is the privacy wall builder for homeowners across Lyman and the surrounding Upstate. We design every wall around the specific sightline it needs to handle, so the wall location, height, and structural connection to the deck or outdoor space all get specified to fit the situation rather than to a stock design.
Recent privacy wall installations we’ve completed across the Upstate, organized by where the wall gets installed.

Our privacy wall installation covers the wall design, the structural connection to the deck or footing, and the wall install itself. The work starts with an on-site walk to confirm the sightline you need blocked and the wall height required to block it. From there we move through location, height, and material specification, framing or footing additions where the deck needs them, structural engineering for the wind load on the wall panel, and the wall install.
A privacy wall builder who installs these every season catches the structural details that determine whether the wall holds up over time. The wind load on a full-height wall is meaningfully higher than on a railing-height screen because the surface area is larger, which means the connection at the deck framing or footing has to carry that load across years of seasonal wind exposure. The post sizing, connector hardware, and wall framing are all engineered for that load.
15+ years of outdoor living projects across the Upstate, with 1,000+ completed projects spanning Lyman and the surrounding service area. The same team that builds new decks and pergolas also installs privacy walls, which means the wall gets integrated with the surrounding structures by people who built those structures themselves. Every Backyard Builders privacy wall install carries our 3-year craftsmanship warranty on alternative material projects.
