Add "Natural" privacy to existing fence, very inexpensive (Poll).

Do you think this is an improvement? or not?

My neighbor behind me cleared out most of a beautiful woodsy buffer on the other side of my fence. Before, I could not see his house at all.  Now it's somewhat visible (Until I added fake branches).  I like a view, but NOT of his house.

So... I fastened some heavy duty lattice to the fence with wire and bought a fake Christmas tree (1) from the thrift store ($12) and hung the fake branches on the lattice. Depending on spacing you can make it more or less dense and totally block the view if you want, or only somewhat blocked for more breeze.
 . . You can use the 4x8 sheets vertical (8'), or cut them to 4x6 (6' Hi). or simply hang the branches on the fence itself (4').






















Simply bend the metal end of the fake branches to form a hook, and hang them on the lattice.... needs no further fastening.


Some other areas of the fence.
