WANT to enjoy your garden this summer without nosey neighbours watching your every move?
You don’t need to break the bank to install new faces because this savvy whizz has revealed how anyone can create their own for under a tenner.
Posting on the Instagram account @gardening.with.ish, the pro revealed you only need two items to make the fence from scratch – and it’s easier than you might think too.
In the viral video he explained anyone wanting to create their own fence will need either some scrap timber or some 2×2, as well as some gardening wire.
Both of these can be bought from the likes of B&Q for a relatively cheap price, depending on how big you want your fence to be, of course.
Ish managed to pick his timber up for just £7 and paid £2 for his gardening wire.
Once you have your wood cut to size it’s time to plant it in the ground.
The gardening pro explained this will also depends on how high you want your privacy fence to be, but he wanted his to be 40cm in the ground, so made sure it was cut to 2.4m so the total fence will be 2m tall.
As well as the two side posts, Ish also added two smaller pieces of timber for the top and bottom of the fence.
Once the timber was connected, the gardening whizz simply drilled holes along the sides for the wire to be threaded through – this is how your plants will grow securely up the fence.
At this point the fence is ready to add to your garden wherever you’d like more privacy.
Ish suggested attaching it to existing fence posts for extra stability, but if not just make sure it’s firmly in the ground.
The final step is to add the plants to fill the gaps in the privacy fence.
The gardening whizz suggested fast growing climbing plants, like clematis or honeysuckle, or if it’s in a shady spot, Ish recommended climbing hydrangea.
“When the foliage starts growing around this the wire slowly starts to disappear and you’re blessed with this beautiful wall of green,”; the pro said.
After sharing the hack on social media fellow gardening fans loved the idea.
One commented: “What a great idea on a budget, thank you!”;
“This is a great idea,”; a second agreed, “and so very helpful given the cheap cost and effectiveness.”;
