My house is on a corner lot with a nice deck. Would be nicer with something cute that could create a little privacy.

A Privacy Wall Doesn't Have To Be Boring Anymore
Here is what some Hometalker's have done, maybe one of these will inspire you - https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=privacy%20patio
Hey Chas, it seems that we do think alike. The only difference is that I only used the word privacy to see what other Hometalkers have done. There seem to be more ideas here, but not all of them are patio specific so keep scrolling down. Take your pick of several ideas that you like Wishing you the best.

Bamboo poles used as screen,maybe with plants growing up them..
Making a frame with the colored plastic lattice may be the easiest route to go. You can dress up the area with potted vine plants.
Why not use real bamboo? It's so pretty! I see you are in UK, so not real familiar with your climate, but there are warm weather bamboo like we have here in California. Colder climate bamboo, one anyway, is Yellow Groove Bamboo. It can grow quite tall, but there are also dwarf varieties. You can grow them quite close together for a lush look, and more privacy.
Do some googling. There are bamboo varieties for almost any climate.
Forgot to mention that mail order bamboo can often come with disease that can spread to your other plants, so find a reputable place (Google complaints on the company) . Better yet, ask your nursery about special ordering some.
