We desperately needed a privacy fence to block off our neighbors – we made a DIY version but people are not impressed
A WOMAN has shared how she to tried to make her backyard more private on a dime – but her followers were not impressed.
Instead of investing thousands of dollars in a privacy fence, she opted for a DIY version.
“The weeds, the lack of privacy, ew,” Jordyn Conejo (@jordynconejo) said to kick off her TikTok video.
She panned the camera to show her neighbor’s yard through the waste-level chain-link fence and said, “Let’s fix that.”
Conejo then revealed her solution: installing plastic “privacy slats” for about $400 from Amazon.
They are “super, super easy” to install although “very time-consuming”, she said in the video.
She goes on to demonstrate how these thin white plastic strips can be weaved into a chain-link fence to make it more solid.
She finished the video by adding that the new DIY fence was “so much more private and looks so much more better” than before.
Some of her fans agreed, with one person writing: “I love it! Good job!”.
But many TikTokers saw things differently.
“Don’t see the privacy but definitely see the improvement not seeing their cluttered yard,” one said.
“If it’s not above eye level than it’s not really ‘private’,” another wrote.
Conejo wrote back to many of the users who made comments.
“Privacy trees will be going in as well but this had to be done first!” Conejo replied to one.
And after several hundred people left comments on the video, Conejo added another generic comment.
“The negativity some of y’all have,” she said, followed by several laughing emojis.
