Have a metal gate door for my backyard and will like to put something on it to have privacy so that anyone who passes by my house doesn't see what's in my backyard. What can I use on my door that won't be see through?

Can you attach landscape fabric to it? I used it on the chain link fence between my yard and my neighbors'.
No I can't. Tried it already. Thank you!!!
Cover it with a sheet of painted exterior plywood. Put it on the yard side so the pattern of the gate still shows on the front. Corrugated plastic panel. Comes in different colors.
bolt pieces wood to it https://www.pinterest.com/pin/147774431492943216/ add bamboo privacy fencing https://www.google.com/search?q=bamboo+privacy+fence&safe=active&sa=X&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS750US750&tbm=shop&tbs=vw:g&ved=0ahUKEwi--Mm6-dzhAhU9ITQIHSnBCXYQvQ0I2gI&biw=1366&bih=657 add a piece of corrugated sheet metal ;lowest cost like Kathy said Landscape fabric(semi see thru) or canvas painters tarp or even shade cloth (semi see thru)
I have seen people string bamboo up on it and it looks great. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/diy-beautify-a-chain-link-fence-with-bamboo-1948723

They sell privacy screens that can fit right over the gate.
