How can I add trendy modern privacy to my deck other than latice?

My covered deck is elevated so I look down into side and back neighbors’ yards Which aren’t very appealing. I need to add privacy somehow but feel that lattice is “old fashioned.” How can I get a trendy, more modern look with privacy, yet something that still lets the breeze flow through? Tried to upload photos and video but it kept saying “error.” If you need them, please email me at Beadbash@verizon.net

    Hi Dee, if you like the look of the light weight bamboo fencing, you can buy it in rolls at the home improvement store this time of the year. It can be cut to fit your precise area. You can use zip ties or string or wire to attach it to the rails of your patio. Fairly inexpensive and might be a nice textural feel.
