Build A Simple Patio Privacy Fence On A Tiny Budget In A Few Simple Steps

When you're trying to relax after a long day at work, your patio can be the ideal place to unwind. But when you just want a peaceful place to sit alone or enjoy a quiet conversation with your friends or family, one of the last things you want is to see your neighbor's every move — and vice versa. Rather than spending over $100 on a store-bought screen, like this one from Lowe's, create your own privacy fence with items found at the local craft or dollar store. This design is especially great if you are renting.

All you need to get this project started is a wire garden trellis, some twist ties, and faux plants. Find all of these items at your local dollar store, and you will save big on this project. The total price will depend on how long you need the patio privacy fence. TikTok creator lexiitravels shows that once you grab all of the supplies, it's super easy to twist-tie the faux plants onto the wire garden trellises to create a space of solitude. Thanks to the plants, this DIY also adds cute decor to your patio.

There are so many outdoor patio ideas that can revamp your space. Make your backyard patio just as stunning as the rest of your home by including a few extra steps to make this DIY your own. Add waterproof fairy lights like these from Amazon to your fence to add a cute touch for nights spent outdoors. These lights are both waterproof and use a solar panel to run, making them great for an outdoor space. Or look at other beautiful DIYs that will light up your backyard patio for more creative ideas.

You can also use different trellis shapes depending on your patio's needs. More rectangular trellises can be connected with zip ties, allowing you to add more height to your privacy fence. You can also add different flowers or fake succulents to make your trellis unique. You can also incorporate bamboo fencing or an outdoor curtain to personalize the space further. Match your patio's color scheme by buying a specific color or spray painting the trellis to fit. Still don't like the look?
