Do you live very close to your neighbors and want to add a bit more privacy to your yard? Here are some ways that you can get this job done.

Vinyl Fencing

Vinyl is a great material if you want to use it as a privacy fence. This is due to vinyl fencing being manufactured in solid panels that do not allow anyone to see through them since there are no small cracks in the panels where the material joins together. Vinyl fencing is also a solid panel that is difficult to climb, so nobody will be able to easily look over your fence as well. It is the best option for when you want total privacy for your yard. 

Wood Fencing

The next best option is wood due to its variety of styles. You can get a solid panel wood fence that will be very similar to a vinyl panel fence, which is great if you love the style but want more natural materials. Wood also gives you the option for some semi-privacy options. 

For example, a shadow box wood fence is still going to create a border that makes it difficult for others to see in. You can kind of peak in when looking at an angle, but it is awkward to do so. You can also install a fence that is a solid panel at the bottom but has a lattice top panel. It gives your fence a bit more elegance, provides privacy, and is effective at preventing others from looking in.

Chain-Link Fence

You can actually add privacy to your yard when using a chain-link fence. It is possible to add fence slats that go between the metal links, which prevent others from looking into your yard. The best thing about these slats is that they can be removed at any time if you prefer to not have a yard that is completely private. You can also use it to make part of your fence private and leave another part exposed.

Evergreen Shrubs

The alternative to fencing is to use evergreen shrubs to add privacy. Evergreen shrubs do not lose their leaves, so they can provide the privacy you are looking for when they are planted around your property border. While it does not offer total privacy, it certainly looks very beautiful for a fencing alternative.
