A weather, rain and wind protection made of glass can turn a balcony into an additional living space...
Screen as a practical windbreak for the balcony
A screen is a wall on wheels or stands. You can easily place the wall if necessary and enjoy more wind shade. The wind protection option is very good for all sides.
With this variant you don't have to drill anything and you can remove the wind protection again without any problems. However, since it is not attached to the wall or railing, it tends to tip over.
Clamp awning for the balcony
Another option for a drill-free windbreak for a new apartment is the clamp awning. In this case, you will receive fabric panels with a frame that you can place on your balcony. Basically, you place the frame on your balcony floor and clamp it against the balcony of the apartment above.
The fabric panels are also available in different colors and patterns, so you can feel really comfortable. You can attach such clamp awnings to the side or front to provide the appropriate wind protection.
Privacy mats or shade nets
Privacy mats or shade nets are also possible. You can run these mats or nets along the balcony and fix them with cable ties, for example, to provide a little more wind protection. Such mats are made from different materials such as fabric or bamboo.
Balcony fans as a solution when there is little wind
If it is not too windy, you can set up a balcony fan. Balcony fans are available in different colors, sizes and shapes. Whether semicircular or rectangular, everything is possible. Such a fan also looks quite stylish.
Fixed partition
A solid partition is also a good option. However, in this case you usually have to drill holes. Depending on the system, you will need to attach fixtures to the wall or floor.
Such a variant is of course particularly stable and offers a high level of wind protection. The solid partition doesn't just fall over. If you want wind protection on the balcony of your own house, you can choose this option.
Plants in mobile beds
Another way to achieve a little more wind protection is to have tall plants in a mobile bed. You can easily move the plants to the desired location and benefit from more wind protection.
Ultimately, there are so many different solutions that it is possible to find a good wind protection option for both renters and homeowners. It also depends on your wishes and ideas whether you choose a permanently installed windbreak or a windbreak without drilling.
