Set limits – with limitless designs

New corten steel privacy fences with laser-cut patterns from Richard Brink

Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, 29.07.2025
Privacy elements typically used along garden and property lines often take the form of generously planted hedges and willow or wattle fences. With its product innovation, Richard Brink shows that there’s another way: privacy screen panels made from trend material corten steel, adorned with a choice of standard and, on request, custom laser-cut patterns, now expand the company’s portfolio.

Richard Brink GmbH & Co. KG has embraced the “Made in Germany” quality seal since being founded almost 50 years ago. This quality guarantee also applies to the new privacy fences made from 100% premium corten steel. Hugely popular for outdoor installation designs, the material has firmly established itself among the range of plant boxes and raised beds offered by the metal products manufacturer from Eastern Westphalia. The 2.0mm-thick metal sheets used to manufacture the privacy fences are particularly robust thanks to their dual backward bend. With their durable patina, which gives the corten steel its unique finish, the fence panels also provide long-term resistance against wind and weather.

Personal touch for creative possibilities 

The privacy fence produced by Richard Brink can be anchored into a strip or a point foundation which should reach down to the local frost line. With the aid of elongated U-profiles complete with concrete anchors that are secured at a maximum depth of 550mm in the foundation, the privacy elements are cemented into the substrate to ensure stability. The profiles are specially designed to fit the 50mm-wide folded edge and can be inserted into designated slots along the bottom of the structure. As the fixtures are found along the inside edge, the mounting system is barely visible once installation is complete. Moreover, the height of the panels can be adjusted somewhat with the help of slotted holes located down either side, where the concrete anchors are screwed in place. The systems are designed to be modular, which means they can be expanded by screwing several fence elements together, giving a seamless appearance regardless of the desired length.

The privacy elements are all 1,800mm high and either 500mm or 1,000mm wide. The panels can be supplied as plain elements with no additional pattern, drawing attention to the rust coating. Alternatively, Richard Brink offers variants featuring laser-cut embellishments. These come either in a floral leaf design in the Folia model, or are based on the company’s popular Staccato, Legato or Ritmo grating cover designs. On request, the metal products manufacturer can also design individual patterns and logos together with the customer in accordance with the relevant technical and structural-design requirements. This transforms a simple privacy screen into a unique, vertical decorative element, used to mark the physical limits of a private or public outdoor space while placing virtually no limits on design.
