Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The tarp adds privacy, and will also keep you cool Credit: Aldi However, there's nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence. 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. For a simple solution, Aldi's Garden Wing Tarp can be tied across your garden or patio to instantly shield it from peeping neighbours. The middle aisle bargain will land in stores on Thursday, July 3 and comes in two different shapes, triangle or rectangle. Shoppers can choose from a beige or navy colour, and the tarp is water repellent, so you don't have to worry about taking it inside during bad weather. The 415 x 415 x 415cm tarp can also be used to shade your garden from the sun, meaning you can relax in the garden without getting too hot. However, shoppers better set their alarms to avoid missing out on the bargain, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. More Privacy Screens Shein's Artifical Ivy Privacy Fence can keep snoopers out for just £8. The fence, which has been slashed from its original price of £11.25, features a stylish green leaf design, that will blend in to your garden's greenery.

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. 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. 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. "Its durable construction offers UV protection, while the breathable design ensures proper airflow. "Perfect for balconies, patios, or terraces, it combines beauty and practicality without the need for ongoing maintenance." However, the privacy screen is only available online, so you will have to order it via the B&Q website instead of heading to your local store if you are keen to snap up the bargain.
