Hello,
There is a small path running along our property that is often used by walkers.
We have been living in our house for some time now and would like to create some privacy.
In the picture, you can clearly see that our neighbor has already done this successfully.
Unfortunately, our double wire mesh fence is not high enough, so adding a privacy screen here would not be effective. The line of sight from the path goes directly to our terrace.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a reasonably visually effective privacy solution here? The gate obviously needs to remain clear, so we are talking about a section of the fence.
Extending the hedge is not an option because the path runs around a garden shed on the right side where lava mulch has been laid.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Best regards

By the way, arborvitae are just as frowned upon, and cherry laurel even more so.Not exactly the same, but similar. They have little ecological value here because they are not native. However, they are organic waste that can be disposed of and destroyed without harming the environment or health. In contrast, plastic fences break down into microplastics and persist in waterways for at least 200 years. That’s why such fences are unacceptable when there are plenty of alternatives. I also find them ugly, but of course, that’s a matter of personal taste.To get to the question.
So, a garden shed will be placed on the right side, which already provides some privacy. So, we are basically talking about the area in front of the gate, correct?
Depending on the size of the garden, I would either plant a large shrub there (of course with enough space to walk around the gate) or actually install one panel of wire mesh fence or chain-link fence and let it be covered with climbing plants. Ivy, grapevine, clematis, honeysuckle, or beans, replanted every year.

Even uglier than the fence are people who feel the need to tell everyone about it... by the way, thuja hedges are just as disliked, and cherry laurel even more so.How rude! A forum is a place to share opinions. There is no reason to insult someone personally!
