The days of having time to yourself seem to be long gone and it is incredibly difficult nowadays to get any privacy at all from your neighbours and just people generally walking by your property. There seems to be no sense of allowing someone to just have their space and to leave them to it. Many of us regard our back gardens as the one place where we can find solitude and yet we have noisy neighbours and passers-by interrupting us all the time. It is important to note that they are not doing this to be malicious and it is just a normal part of living in a neighbourhood to say hi to the neighbour and ask them what’s going on. If you have grown tired of not being able to get any time to yourself to spend with your loved ones then it might be worth thinking about sealing yourself off from the world just a little bit.
You have a number of choices to make when it comes to creating a boundary around your property and you could opt for the usual stonewall or wooden fence but there is a better option out there and it comes in the form of PVC fencing. The guys at Think Fencing have everything that you could possibly need to get your whole project started and they can provide you with invaluable advice as well. As well as installing a fence around the boundary of your property for some much needed privacy, the following are just some other things that you might want to consider to create even more privacy.
● Add some height to your plants – It’s always a good idea to try to increase the height that your plants can reach to transform your yard and one way to do that if they are in pots, is to raise them up using bricks and stones underneath them. These will help to give you the privacy that you want and they won’t end up costing you an arm and a leg.
● Create a private space – Even though your PVC fence seems to be doing its job and keeping the neighbours out, it might also be a good idea to create a private space for yourself somewhere in your backyard. It will take a little bit of imagination and a bit of time to create somewhere that you can just talk yourself away for the afternoon and enjoy a good book and a cold beverage.
● Plant a few trees – Not only can trees provide you with a great deal of privacy, but they can also help to shield you from the hot rays of the sun and so they have a cooling effect all over your back garden. Make sure that you choose trees that will not damage the foundations of your home and make sure that you cut them back regularly.
The thing to remember is to always try to keep things simple when you’re trying to create some much needed privacy around your property.
