Outdoor Privacy Screens • budget FASHIONISTA

You may have a fabulous home, but your neighbors probably don’t. Or they park their RV in the alley, or there is that fabulous neighbor you call the freeway…In any case, no matter where you live an outdoor privacy screen may not be such a bad idea.

We found these two easy DIY outdoor privacy screens that you can make in a weekend.

Privacy screen idea: Framed lattice

This first privacy screen is made by framing a piece of lattice with some metal braces and 2x4s. The 2x4s come down the sides to form legs. Secure the front legs into pots with cement. Then fill the rest of the pot with potting soil and flowers. Try growing clematis and moon flowers in the pot and train them to grow up the lattice.

Privacy screen idea: Ivy frame

You can also use a wood frame and twine to train bean plants and ivy to grow on. The lattice will have some privacy gaps at first, but once the ivy grows in, you’ll have nice protection from your neighbors.

First, make frames from 2x4s and screw them into your fence. Then, add hooks on the inside of the frame and weave twine in between the hooks. The twine is the structure for your plants. Once the plants mature, they will help hide an odious view of your neighbor’s RV.
