The Simple Addition That Makes A Privacy Fence Easily Customizable
Love your backyard, but hate the lack of privacy? Level up your outdoor space with a privacy fence that is easily customizable. Grab some garden boxes on wheels and add some tall plants for a beautiful new look.
This privacy fence is made only of plants and a planter box. It is easy to make and can be moved around your yard as needed. Start by purchasing a planter box with wheels. There are many different designs, so choose one that will work best for your yard. The best part about the wheels is they allow you to easily adjust where the planters are. For instance, you can move the planters aside if you're having a party.
When choosing the best plants to create a private patio space, make sure that they are tall and full plants that will thrive well in a container, such as an arborvitae or a dwarf evergreen. You could even use a variety of different fruit trees, which would give you both privacy and a nice harvest. Not a plant person? Fake arborvitae would work well, too!
How to customize this privacy fence to fit your own backyard
While TikTok creator @house_of_interior_decor used block span planters ($184.99) from Veradek, Amazon sells a similar metal planter box for $169.99. But, if you want to get even more creative, you can build your own planter box. Adding a hidden interior shelf, like the store bought ones have, will elevate your plants, and, in turn, take backyard privacy to new heights. You can then paint the planter box any color you like, perhaps matching it to your deck. If you do go down the make-your-own route, be sure to follow these essential DIY wooden planter tips for thriving plants.
Another way to make this privacy fence your own is by adding a light feature to the garden box. Use spotlights like in the TikTok tutorial, or wrap holiday lights around the shrubs. These Minetom color changing string lights ($16.79) on Amazon allow you to modify the colors of your lights based on holidays or your mood. No matter how you choose to customize this design, it is important to have a private space in your backyard.
