Willow Stick Fencing: privacy in a pinch
Our backyard looks out onto an alley. It is not the worst view, but it is not the prettiest, either. But the main problem is that people can see into our yard, which can be a tad uncomfortable when we are out there. We do have a chain link fence on top of a four foot concrete retaining wall, so we bought the Willow Stick Fencing to give us a little more privacy and to add a bit of shade to our south facing backyard.
After trimming to match the height of our chain link (easily done with a circular saw) to avoid catching too much wind, we used easy to hide clear zip ties to secure the willow to our existing fence. We have a couple short sloping sections we wanted to cover and using the circular saw again we were able to easily match the angles. After just a couple hours’ work, we had a nice, secluded backyard.
The Willow Stick Fencing should not be used for anything other than a bit of privacy or to conceal the more unattractive parts of your yard. If installed on its own, sturdy fence posts will need to be placed fairly close together.
