How to Make an Easy Patio Privacy Screen {Step-by-Step Tutorial}
If harsh weather isn't an issue for you (extreme heat or freezing) you can plant a variety of trees as saplings that will grow to cover most of the fence and the unpleasant view.
I see that you're in Australia. There are a variety of melaleuca trees, you could find some that grow in a manner that will mask the home.
Make some type of screen of wind break for privacy. Add lattice work to the top of your existing fence.
hi Laurie,
cheers also from Aus. plant lilly pillies, not sure how to spell
that correctly. they are a native, tolerate pruning into whatever
shape, you can make jam with the berries and they are relatively
fast growing. if you are into wildlife, as i am, they make great possum
food as well. the other alternative could be make a trellis with cheap
gutter guard up your fence and beyond (attach a few 2x2 stakes above
your fence line and grow a potato vine. this is also fast growing and has
pretty white small flowers
There are fast growing evergreen trees that don't take up a lot of space.
