Amazon is selling an £8 buy that adds privacy to your garden – it hides eyesores and ‘blends in well’ with your space
THERE’S nothing better than lounging in your garden on a warm summer day.
However, if your outdoor space isn’t as private as you’d like, don’t worry because there’s a cheap fix.
Amazon shoppers can now pick up a budget-friendly item that instantly elevates their gardens’ privacy.
And that’s not all this affordable item is good for either.
The Garden Mile Expanding Wooden Trellis is currently available for just £7.99 from Amazon.
Available in a variety of sizes, with prices depending, this trellis comes in a set of three.
The expanding wooden panels make for a “flexible and robust” plant support.
They are crafted from durable natural wood and allow growth and cover for any area.
This means that they can help to provide a natural shield from your nosy neighbours.
Described as “ideal for climbing plants” these trellis panels are said to “create a focal point within the garden”.
The trellis can also be placed against a wall or garage to “add attractive features or to disguise any dull areas in the garden”.
Or it can be attached to a garden arch to elevate your outdoor space even further.
According to manufacturers, it is “ideal for separating different areas of gardens” helping to organise your outdoor layout.
The classic style measure six feet by three feet and can last in “all weather conditions”.
Amazon also has a £14 privacy buy that is described as “perfect” for summer.
Another privacy fence is also available from Amazon, for just £5.
B&Q has an affordable privacy fence currently on sale, and you can put it up yourself.
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
- Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
- Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
- Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
- A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
And a £10 B&M product adds inches to your fence, elevating your garden’s privacy.
You can also add a stylish touch to your privacy fence with another B&M buy.
And its not just fences that can help give you privacy in your garden, one B&M item can help shield you from nosy neighbours and the sun.
Meanwhile, a Home Bargains buy is said to add a touch of glamour to your garden.
Another item from the bargain retailer is perfect for attracting birds to your space.
A £3 buy from B&M is can also help to add privacy to your garden this summer.
