The most common solution is certainly the privacy wall. Almost any way is good to build one, their design and durability depends only on your imagination and your manual skills, of course! Several materials can be used for its creation, so it is important to make logical and informed choices. Pay attention that the materials chosen are designed for the exterior and resistant to corrosion . Additionally, make sure the hardware is suitable so that your wall is strong and durable. If you want an easier option, there are ingenious systems on the market. We can think of Hoft posts which are sets of grooved aluminum posts with hardware into which you can simply insert the boards of your choice. In addition, the spacers ensure equal space between each board for a perfectly successful, quick and hassle-free look .

A multitude of other options that do not require any construction are available to you. It can be as easy as choosing your furniture and layout accordingly . For example, a sofa with a high back placed with its back to your nosy neighbor can be effective in limiting their view. Accessories such as an offset parasol or gazebo with curtains can also be considered to solve the problem. Finally, we often forget another great option, but so effective! It's about vegetation. Whether they're real plants or not, they're sure to provide privacy and add a lot of style to your decor. You can consider extendable trellises with foliage or even pots and planters to integrate into your layout where it is necessary to limit the view. In the longer term, grasses, shrubs, trees or hedges can create an intimate cocoon in your yard. So there are options for all styles or tastes !
