Use lattice boards and wooden palats
Hello, here is a picture of a nice and unique one and if you have a small yard you could just make it smaller.
Have you considered using hedges at your street and putting the raised beds closer to your house? I could be wrong but u was thinking you may use the raised beds for plants or gardens so I was thinking that anything you plant will not give you privacy year round. Many hedges grow very quickly and it also helps with reducing any noise that you may get from the streets. The younger the plants, the less they cost so if you have some time and need to save some money - Because who doesn’t. Plus a lot of places give you a money back offer if your plants do not make it. That depends from store to store.
Anyway, just a thought. Best wishes with your project!!
A fence would be your best bet, hedges require trimming and I don't like making extra work for myself. Some have used old pallets for fencing, that would not cost as much as new wood. you could then plant vining things to climb the pallets.
Hi there, what about using lattice fence panels attached to your raised garden beds on the side closest to the street. You could then grow vines, either veggies or flowers on your side of the lattice panels. Good luck!
