But for many of us, the thought of nosy neighbours peeking into our outside space can leave us filled with anxiety, and unable to properly relax.
Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive - and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours.
However, Amazon's Natural Reed Outdoor Privacy Fence, offers the perfect solution.
The stylish fence comes in two colours, 'Natural' and 'Carbonised' meaning that there's a design to suit any garden.
The bamboo screen comes with 100 ties, making it easy to attach to an existing fence or balcony.
It promises to enhance "ambience and privacy", and at just £5.61, is the perfect buy for penny pinchers.
It is also made from sturdy materials, meaning you don't have to worry about it getting blown away in the wind.
A product description reads: " This bamboo fence panel offers a natural and stylish solution for your outdoor space, effectively blocking unwanted views while blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings of your garden or patio.
"Perfect for creating an intimate area in your yard while enhancing the overall ambiance and safeguarding your privacy."
I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic'
Another fence perfect for penny-pinchers is B&Q's Natural Reed Garden Screen, which can keep your garden out of view of snoopers, for just £16
A description reads: "This Klikstrom natural screening is perfect for adding both privacy and a contemporary style to your outdoor spaces.
"Crafted from durable material, this product is self supporting and weather resistant."
Shoppers have been raving about the bargain buy on the B&Q website.
How high can a garden fence be?
Despite what many people think a garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission for any fence taller than 2m.
Any fence under 2m does not need planning permission.
However, there are some complications to this.
If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft.
You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.
But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant.
One person said: " We bought this product for more privacy in our residence and the result is superb!
A second person said: "Nice, strong and wind proof."
And B&Q's Lifelike Grape Leaf Foldable Artificial Green Wall is another bargain bu y perfect for keeping your garden secluded.
The stylish screen comes in a realistic leaf design, perfect for blending in to your greenery.
Plus, the product has been made with premium wood and weather resistant plastic, making it extra durable - so you don't have to worry about it coming down in windy or rainy conditions.
A product description reads: "Bring refreshing greenery to your outdoor décor with this artificial hedge panel.
"Designed for versatility, it works as a fence screen, wall décor, or garden hedge.

Keir Starmer refuses to set date for UK to spend 3% of GDP on defence
Keir Starmer has refused to give a date for the UK to spend at least 3% of GDP on defence, saying he would not indulge in 'performative fantasy politics', as he prepared to launch the government's strategic defence review. Speaking at a defence facility in Scotland, the prime minister said his commitment to hit 2.5% of GDP on defence spending from 2027 showed he was serious about the issue, but that he could not go further without fiscal certainty. 'I am not, as the prime minister of Labour government, going to make a commitment as to the precise date until I can be sure precisely where the money is coming from, how we can make good on that commitment, because I don't believe in performative fantasy politics, and certainly not on defence and security,' he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Pressed again on the date, Starmer said: 'We had a commitment for 2.5% by the end of this parliament. We pulled that right forward to 2027. We showed that when we say there's a new era of the defence and security of our country, is our first priority – as it is – that we meant it. We take the same approach to 3%. 'But I'm not going to indulge in the fantasy politics of simply plucking dates from the air until I'm absolutely clear that I can sit here in an interview with you and tell you exactly how that's going to work.' The defence review will say Britain must be ready to fight a war in Europe or the Atlantic, though it is not expected to promise immediate increases in the size of the armed forces to deal with the threat. The 130-page document will call for a move to 'war-fighting readiness' to deter Russian aggression in Europe and increases in stockpiles of arms and support equipment, some of which currently may only last days in a crisis. Asked about this, Starmer said: 'We have to recognise the world has changed, and if the world has changed, we need to be ready. What I would say, by way of reassurance, is if you want to deter conflict, then the best way to do that is to prepare for conflict.' Questioned on whether this could involve, for example, British troops being sent to defend attacks on countries adjoining Russia, Starmer replied: 'I very much hope not. And in order to make sure that that isn't the case, we need to prepare. But we cannot ignore the threat that Russia poses. 'We've seen what's happened in Ukraine just over three and a half, three years ago, those tanks rolled across a border, something I think all of us thought we wouldn't really see in our lifetimes – the invasion of a European country. Russia has so shown in recent weeks that it's not serious about peace. We have to be ready.' The review is not expected to contain any additional spending commitments. The defence secretary, John Healey, acknowledged on Sunday that any plans to increase the size of the British army, at its smallest for 300 years, would have to wait until after the next election. Speaking to the BBC, Healey said there had been '15 years of a recruitment and retention crisis in our armed forces' as he acknowledged that the size of the army had fallen to 70,860, below the government's target of 73,000.

He has played almost every game this season and stepped up a level in terms of his energy, desire and winning mentality have had such a positive impact on the young team around him and even at 26 he has taken responsibility as a senior player. Because of the way he presents himself on the pitch he is very easy to dislike which is probably why he doesn't get the credit he deserves as one of the league's best ChalobahIt would have been easy for Chalobah to shut off when deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea at the start of the season and shipped off to Crystal Palace on loan, but he kept his head down, worked hard, and represented the Eagles with when recalled to Chelsea, he didn't fuss and was a reliable performer when selected. He is maybe not your modern-day centre-back who steps into the play, but he defends solidly and wins his put in seven or eight out of 10 performances every week despite difficult situations and an uncertain future is admirable and he deserves his chance in Thomas Tuchel's England Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward
