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."
