I created a cheap DIY privacy wall for less than $20 – it was ready in a couple of hours and filled out in two months
A DIY duo made a fashionable and affordable privacy wall in just a few hours.
The couple put together the project for less than $20.
Ruth and Steve (@olivegreyave) shared the DIY with over 150,000 TikTok followers.
Before getting started, the two sketched out what they wanted the wall to look like on a notepad.
“I made a wire trellis for less than $20 and a couple hours,” she explained.
First, she drilled screws for the eyelets on all four sides of the patio.
Next, using multi-purpose wiring from Lowes, she overlapped the silver wire in diagonal directions for a diamond design.
“Pull the wire tight and wrap it around itself on the end, then cut with wire cutters,” she said, demonstrating with the tool.
To make sure the wires were properly distanced for the pattern she wanted, she pre-lined up the wires over the patio.
With the wall completed, the last step was to plant the jasmine plants in front of the wall.
“Star jasmine grows so quickly in our area that this whole wall filled out in less than a couple of months,” she said.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on the project.
Many were impressed with the idea and the execution: “This came out great!” said one viewer.
