How about a metal louvred privacy screen. A lot of fence and pre fab awning manufacturers also supple these screening options.

Hi merync

Perhaps vertical posts about 100mm x 100mm with 100mm spacing - from floor to rafters of new roof Colour them to co ordinate with the new work

Light & breeze will still get through, but there will be a division between the functioning spaces

Attach stag horns, elk horns, crow's nest ferns as well as potted ferns in 1/2 circle wire baskets - lined with moss. All these will flourish in shade

In effect, a vertical garden

Enjoy

Hi merync

Pleased you like the ideas

The posts could be anchored with metal supports bedded into concrete

or a box-like structure (that could double as seating)could have the posts housed in

or make the box a planter to accommodate some more plants

Enjoy

metal posts can be bolted to the concrete floor with a metal bracket called a "stirrup" there's a brand called Uni-pier with multiple sizes available at the major hardware stores and then attach sections of plastic lattice (friendlier for attaching plants) ...make sure the posts are installed at standard distances to suit the size of the panels..eg four panels 1200 wide x 2400 tall installed between 5 posts would allow for a wide doorway at one end or two panels could be installed horizontally between three posts with gaps at the top and bottom with a line of big oblong shaped pots for climbing plants and wall hung pots could be attached to the lattice

The laser screens look like a perfect option - not too much effort and very effective. Bunning's have them too. Also bamboo and wicker ones - depending on the look you decide to go for. You can spend less on the screens (if you're budget is limited) and use your outdoor setting and pot plants to create the decorator features.

I think this is what MB is suggesting they do look great and come in White black and timber https://www.bunnings.com.au/protector-aluminium-900-x-1750mm-pearl-white-easy-screen-welded-slat-panel_p1142597

Thats pretty much it siriuskey!. Something like that would suit the era of house.

Doesn't need to be Bunning's as there are locally made ones around too.

I have used bamboo screening bought from Bunnings to hide a fence it looks natural and smart as well, then added potted plants and a water feature in front of that so maybe you could use that idea, it didn't cost the earth either was quite cheap to do and the plants and water feature we added bit by bit , that is what we see ffrom under our back area pergola and the water running.

merync there are a variety of options to attached timber posts directly to concrete - check out our range of post supports here http://vuetrade.com/product-category/vuetrade-products/timber-connectors/post-supports/  the bolt down T Blades in particular are a good option as the bracket is concealed inside the timber posts.
