How do I add privacy to my patio that has a swinging gate?
+1
The side I need to add some privacy on has a swinging gate, so adding lattice would look ridiculous. Any ideas?It’s a small, high patio with peeping neighbors. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks

Do you have a picture? Is the rest of the fence private, but not the gate? Can you rebuild the gate to match the fence?

Are you trying to cover just the gate? What-how is the gate made? wrought iron with bars/decorative,chain link? you can bolt on wooden boards( thats what everydoes here in AZ does to their wrought iron/chain link gates) http://whatjeffdid.blogspot.com/2012/04/look-who-got-makeover.html using this method-conduit clamps with bolts no screws to attach it, much more secure/hold up to weather better than wire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHBhnZWYdmw if you add boards on both sides to completely cover gate so it looks better you can bolt the boards to each other thru fencing or add bamboo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4sdVvIELmg or are you trying to block your whole patio? block the patio from the gate view? do you have fencing already need to make it higher? need to make gate higher(is the gate wood)? you aren't real clear what you need "high patio"means higher up than neighbors? high ceilings? maybe a picture could clarify some of these questions
https://www.bluestoneperennials.com/HIPP.html .You could plant these along the fence. They grow 10" high and only 2-3 feet wide. You could put a 6' x 6' fence like privacy screen next to your patio in front of the gate maybe with one of these same bushes on both ends.
FYI There are lots of varieties of Rose of Sharon that would make a good hedge depending on how wide the area is. If you decide to plant a different Rose of Sharon make sure to check the width. Some of them grow 8' wide.
