B&Q is selling a garden must-have to give you some peace and quiet while adding some extra greenery.
The Decorative Artificial Ivy Leaf Green Hedge Roll has been a hit with customers and can easily be attached to an existing fence or balcony.
Thankfully, it comes at a bargain price with a 3m x 1m roll costing just £22.99.
The fencing panel is made up of hundreds of fake ivy leaves in a deep green colour and decorates the garden, just as well as giving you privacy.
The Artificial Fence Panel is also super easy to install.
The snap hook backings can fit many different areas and are flexible, which makes mounting easier by providing a way to install on an area with Zip Ties or Nails.
It's also perfect to create privacy with the leaves positioned on the snap hook backing to create a full look, while the snap hook backing also acts as a second layer of privacy with a beautiful leaf design.
The B&Q item also comes with a two-year guarantee and has UV protection to stop the colour of the leaves from fading in the sun.
While it can't be purchased in stores, it can be ordered online and arrive on your doorstep within 1 - 4 working days.
Customers were quick to praise the fence screen in the reviews with many sharing images of it in their gardens.

I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30
Many praised just how expensive it looked, while others said it was sturdy enough to last through any season.
One person wrote: "I put this on my garden fence for privacy. My son said he thought it would look tacky but actually it looks really good and makes a big difference to the whole garden and very easy to attach using cables."
Another commented: 'Great product, good coverage with leaves that are fairly realistic looking. Bought 3 and very good as they can clip together and in different shapes, so good dimensions. The plastic looks sturdy enough and hopefully it will last.
"Bought these for my mum's back garden fence. They are fantastic. Really great service from the company too," penned a third.
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I have bought 2 of these trellises to cover my garden drive gate & fence for privacy. The quality is fantastic and fits my fences perfectly & so cheap considering the amount you get on the roll. Definitely would buy again."
Someone else added: 'I purchased 2 of these rolls to extend the height of a wall. The units have an interlocking system that makes joining the two together a breeze.
"Some of these artificial plants can look pretty poor, even though they do the job of screening. This is not the case with this product as it looks good close up and great at a distance."

Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot
GAME ON Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PLAYING the EuroMillions tonight gives you the best chance of bagging the £14million jackpot. A Lucky Irish ticket holder won the biggest ever prize of £208million this week and the jackpot has now reset. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 People can enter EuroMillions today with a £14million prize up for grabs Credit: Getty But it means those playing tonight have the best chance of winning the entire jackpot. This is because less people are likely to play because it's not a mega jackpot and that means any winnings could be split between a smaller group. A spokesperson for Allwyn, which runs the National Lottery, explained: "EuroMillions is designed to be a huge, rolling jackpot game. "So, we always have more people enter as the jackpot rises and excitement grows. "We also see more syndicates and groups playing the game as the jackpot climbs. "However, every draw, the odds of winning the jackpot remain the same no matter what the jackpot amount. "You could possibly argue that, if fewer people play, then you are potentially less likely to share the jackpot with other winners." The spokesperson added that, ultimately, any lottery is a game of chance and anything can happen, especially depending on what numbers are drawn and based on number combinations. Of course, always remember to only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play. Visit or if you need help. If you do win the EuroMillions tonight, any prize must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date. Biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot A record £208million EuroMillions prize was scooped earlier this week, leaving the winner with an eye-watering pot of cash. The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05. While one lucky person in Ireland won the jackpot, dozens of Brits also scooped prizes. There were three players who matched five numbers and one lucky star who will win a whopping £6.3m each. While 16 Brits won £16,119.10 by matching the five main numbers.

Map reveals unclaimed National Lottery and UK EuroMillions tickets – and there are five £1million winning prizes
Plus, how to improve your chances of winning big FEELING LUCKY? Map reveals unclaimed National Lottery and UK EuroMillions tickets – and there are five £1million winning prizes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAP has revealed where lie the UK's unclaimed National Lottery and UK EuroMillions tickets. Millions of pounds in lotto winnings go unclaimed every year with ticket holders often completely unaware they have won. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Millions of winning lottery tickets go unclaimed every year Credit: Getty 2 There are currently five £1million prizes sitting unclaimed in the UK and others worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. But the time is ticking with deadlines for when prizes can be claimed quickly approaching. Winning lottery ticket holders have 180 days from the draw date to retrieve their prize. If no claim is made within the deadline the money goes towards funding National Lottery Projects in the UK. Winning tickets often end up lost in coat pockets or in a mound of unopened emails. But with several major prizes still waiting to be claimed, check our map to see if you might be the lucky winner. How can you claim your winnings? Prizes under £500 can be claimed from any local National Lottery retailer, such as a newsagents, supermarket or petrol station. For prizes up to £50,000, winners need to head online or call the National Lottery on 0333 234 50 50 to claim their money. Damaged tickets should be reported to the National Lottery and an appeal should be filed within 30 of the draw date. More details can be found on the National Lottery website. How to bag the top prize Playing as part of a group could be a good way of boosting your chances of winning, Simon Horne, from The National Lottery operator Allwyn UK, explains. "If you join a syndicate of 10 people, then there's 10 tickets and 10 chances of winning, so there's clearly a greater chance of winning compared to if you just bought your own ticket," he said. The syndicate manager will need to register the group and list themselves as the person in charge with The National Lottery. Make sure to write all the terms and conditions of the agreement down, and get each person to sign it, said Simon. Current unclaimed National Lottery prizes EuroMillions - £1m The draw took place on December 27, and the ticket holder has until June 25, 2025 to come forward. The ticket was bought in Wiltshire.

It was bought in Birmingham. "If there's any confusion or complications down the line, then you can refer back to the agreement and then everyone knows where they stand," he said. The big downside to consider being part of a syndicate is that you'll need to equally split the pot between each person. So, if you were part of a syndicate of four people, splitting the £208million jackpot four ways would leave you with £52million - although that's still big winnings to walk away with. Otherwise, you could keep an eye on how often your lucky numbers are being drawn, and if they're not coming up as often as you would like, you can try a different tact. The National Lottery app stores all your tickets from draws you have entered. The app is free to download from either the App Store on iPhone, or the Google Play store on Android devices. That means you can go back in and check your most profitable numbers. You could make a spreadsheet of how often your lucky numbers are being drawn, and every three months, see whether it's worth keeping them, or ditching them for alternatives. According to the unluckiest Euromillions numbers are 22, which has been drawn 65 times, followed by 40 (73 times) and 18. Timing matters when it comes to buying your ticket, said Simon. If you leave it to the last minute, then there's a risk that you run out of time to buy your ticket. You need to buy your ticket before 7:30pm on Friday - otherwise you'll miss out. "My main advice is not to leave it too late - don't rush into the newsagents or load up your app at 7:25pm," he said. "You might not be able to upload money onto your online account, or buy your ticket, in time and you could miss the draw."
