Don’t Let Unsightly Items Ruin Your Outdoor Aesthetic
Your property may include all the picture-perfect outdoor offerings — a white picket fence surrounding a landscaped yard and a porch outlined with a matching railing. There are even raised garden beds blooming with colorful plants and vegetables. It’s your dream yard — except for the unsightly trash cans or bulky AC unit that stick out like a sore thumb.
To tackle this problem and get your yard looking its best, we laid out three options to help you hide unsightly objects:
Option 1: Decorative Screen Panels with Frame Kits

Freedom’s Decorative Screen Panels (DSPs) are a unique way to complement your home, showcase your personal style and hide any unsightly items in your outdoor space. DSPs are durable and feature a low-maintenance, impact resistant material that resists warping, rot, twisting, splitting, discoloration and scratching.
Choose from 10 different design options — including a tropical leaf pattern found in our Sanibel panel to blooming flowers in our Fretwork panel, there is a design and color that will add a stylish touch to your yard while covering your trash/recycling cans, AC unit, pool pumps or any other object you don’t want to see. If the exact color you’re looking for is not available, DSPs are paintable, making it easy to customize the look to complement any home project.
Matte black aluminum frame kits provide a secure housing for our DSPs and are available in two sizes with the ability to be surface mounted. DSPs can be installed up to three high to easily create a divider screen that provides increased height to conceal unsightly items. You can even link two or more frame kits together with a corner post to create a larger enclosure. Installing DSPs gives you the opportunity to add unique décor to your yard that serves a purpose.
Option 2: Decorative Lattice

Decorative Lattice adds unique detailing while providing additional seclusion, making it more difficult to see beyond its design — the perfect way to hide unsightly items.
Available in 4’ x 8’ panels, Decorative Lattice can be used for under deck applications, providing an effortless transition from your deck to the ground. Its ability to cover anything unsightly, such as exposed foundations, plumbing pipes or storage areas, makes it an ideal choice for creating a clean and polished look in your backyard.
With a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, Decorative Lattice offers an elegant and timeless aesthetic that can seamlessly blend with any outdoor setting. Made of heavy-duty, impact resistant durable plastic, Decorative Lattice is easy to install as is or can be cut to size.
Option 3: Utility Screens

Incredibly easy to install, Freedom’s Utility Screens are a third way to hide unsightly items. Utility Screens are made of low-maintenance vinyl that won’t rot or decay.
Utility Screens include stakes and additional hardware for connecting panels in straight or corner configurations, which easily allows you to create a decorative barrier around objects that are limiting your yard’s beauty.
Unsightly items like trash cans, AC units, utility units and pool pumps no longer need to disrupt the aesthetic of your outdoor area. With an array of design options, colors and sizes, you can find the perfect solution that suits your taste and seamlessly integrates with your home and yard. Say goodbye to eyesores and hello to a beautiful outdoor retreat!
