Attach lattice panels to it. You could also plant vines and let them grow up to cover the lattice over time. This is a pic I found on Pinterest to give you an idea...
We bought lattice panels at Home Depot and used very thick white plastic electrical ties to attach them to our old fence. Our neighbors refused to pay for a new fence so this was the easiest and quickest solution for us. This is our fourth year. They have held up very well.

You can purchase privacy slats fro Home Depot or Lowes in the building department.
Over this side of the pond, 8' x 4' privacy screens are available in a variety of formats.
whole bamboo canes held together by twisted wires.
split bamboo canes held together by twisted wires (as above but split lengthways, half the amount of bamboo so cheaper)
Reed - thinner than bamboo and some grassy leaves can drop off
There's another with fern-like fronds. Good for instant privacy but after a while, bits start dropping off.
Any of the above options would be good. Trailing plants will break up the monotony of the screen and add a splash of colour, they will also provide instant screening until you can grow something more permanent.
I have bamboo canes,wooden fence panels, and sections of picket fence on part of our chain link fence. This is all stuff we've picked up for free. I also grow morning glory, hyacinth bean, and other vines.
Here some pictures,suzanne
No, as a matter of fact they don't. This last winter we had minus 8 & minus 10 degrees & 185.5 inches of snow for the season...we are just now losing the last of our snow piles! We have to replant every year; the only thing that survives is the native vegetation. Thanks for asking!
Hi Suzanne, I have the same problem. Simple to add a few boxes of wild flower mixtures along your fence. Every year I buy a few more tall growing perennials and split them up next year early spring. If you're into flowers
one favorite is ornamental grass. Good luck!
Morning Glories will grow and cover the fence...they also reseed themselves. You could also try something like humming bird vine (with the small red flowers) it also reseeds itself.
