Hot tubs and outdoor seating areas require thoughtful fence design to provide privacy without blocking natural light or making the area feel boxed in. Many York homeowners choose fencing solutions that offer modern style, solid coverage and enhanced height, especially if neighbouring properties overlook the space.

Closeboard fencing is one of the best options for full privacy. Its overlapping vertical boards create a completely solid boundary with no gaps, ideal for screening hot tubs and seating areas. You can choose a height close to the 2-metre permitted maximum for maximum privacy.

Composite fencing is another excellent choice. Its smooth, modern finish complements contemporary gardens and holds up exceptionally well to steam and moisture from hot tubs. Its dense, interlocking boards provide full coverage and long-term durability.

If you want something less solid, slatted fencing with narrow gaps offers privacy while still allowing airflow and light. This creates a relaxing, spa-like environment and works particularly well if you have outdoor lighting or a landscaped seating area.

Trellis extensions can add height and decorative appeal. They allow you to grow climbing plants, creating natural screening above your solid fence line. This softens the look and increases privacy.

We design fencing around seating zones by assessing sightlines, neighbouring property levels and garden layout. With the right combination of materials and height, your hot tub or seating area can feel private and secluded all year round.
