I was fed up of neighbours looking through my fence – a £18 B&M buy gave me instant privacy & it looks so good
WHILE we all enjoy getting on with our neighbours, there's nothing wrong with wanting some privacy.
And one woman has shared the easy and cheap buy to keep neighbours from looking into your garden.

Taking to social media, Steph Varnie decided to fence off her outdoor space.
Her wooden panelled fence had large spaces in between them, which she wanted to cover up.
So, she decided to head to B&M to solve the problem.
Steph bought the Split Bamboo Screening for just £18 from the budget retailer.
She wrote: "Let's get some screening up," with the hashtag privacy screen.
In the clip, she showed herself putting it up along her fence to create more privacy.
It was clearly an easy DIY task to do as Steph was able to do it alone with a staple gun to secure it in place.
The bamboo screen was 2 metres in length, which meant Steph still had a small gap that went uncovered.
"Shame I was just out... Need to think what to do with that little section at the end," she said.
She went on to ask others how to cover the gap and many suggested buying another screen to cover it and make it thicker for more privacy.
I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic'
The clip was posted to her TikTok account @ steph_varnie with over 162k views and 300 likes.
One person wrote: "Ours lasted years, we put one lot up and then added another on top for extra privacy."
Another commented: 'We've done the same. 3 rolls deep to block out the neighbours, made a beautiful border now we have a private garden."
"You did an amazing job," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Double it up for more privacy."
"Should have started from that end more privacy from neighbours,' claimed a fifth.
