Dad shares trick to stop feeling overlooked in garden – but everyone is asking exactly the same biting question
AFTER feeling overlooked in his newbuild garden, one man has revealed how he managed to gain some privacy.
Taking to his social media, the man shared a clip of his incredible garden before getting to work to build a DIY privacy fence with greenery.
The garden featured a raised bed, a luscious green lawn, white tiles, a hot tub, a dining table and a lounge area.
He was then seen on top of the raised bed, where he installed screens with infant trees.
“How we added privacy to our new build garden,” he wrote over this.
Panning the camera over the space, he then showed how the trees gradually filled in the gaps, ensuring neighbours wouldn’t be able to see through.
Proud of how he dealt with the situation, he then took to the caption to share further details as he wrote: “Ever felt overlooked in your garden?
“Well we’ve found the perfect solution.
“These pleached red robin trees are perfect for screening off areas of your garden and are evergreen meaning colour all year round.”
“We bought younger trees to save on cost but just two years on and they have filled out nicely,” Instagram user @house_proud_dads added.
People flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the solution.
One person questioned: “Maintenance the neighbour’s side though?”
Another asked: “Nice work unless you have blocked their sunlight……?”
“Bet the neighbours are really happy,” a third joked, followed by a shocked emoji.
While a fourth added: “Beautiful garden …. I just going to assume your garden isn’t south facing otherwise that may have upset the neighbours haha.. looks lovely though”
Others, however, thought it looked incredible as one person shared: “Brilliant idea & love your garden layout,” followed by a heart emoji.
Another said: “Absolutely breathtaking,” while a third added: “It looks amazing! Great idea for additional privacy”.
