Man reveals clever alternative to the privacy fence – it costs just £9 from Amazon & can be taken down much more easily
IT seems everyone is arguing these days with their neighbours about boundaries and privacy.
Whilst we all want to enjoy the summer sun but it doesn’t mean we want to share our space with neighbours however nice they may be.
Privacy fences are a great way to create your own small space in your garden, but these days even they can cost a pretty penny.
A DIY pro has shared how easy it is to make a patio curtains and the best part is it can also block sunlight.
The DIY fan who goes by @inhisthorns online shared his easy method in a TikTok video online.
First he grabs some 4½ lag bolts and screws them into the the wood laying onto his garden wall to make conduit hangers .
Then you simply grab a ½ conduit to hang your curtains.
He said: “Privacy and comfort under budget.”
The DIY fan said he used the Amazon Nicetown Patio Outdoor Curtains for his makeshift privacy fence which is priced at £23.
But you can get some for as little as £9.
The great thing about this is you can pick whichever colour and material you like.
If you want to protect some plants you can go for a more opaque curtain but if you love the sun you can go for a sheer-like material.
