Outdoor Privacy Ideas Help You Create a Private Refuge

A yard isn’t always the most private or inviting space, but with the help of some outdoor privacy ideas it can become the setting for a quiet retreat. Once you graduate from college, get married, and buy a home, the words “space” and “quest” take on a whole new meaning. When you’re single, Space Quest is the name of a B-movie that you riff on with your friends. When you’re married with kids it becomes something you do, an ongoing search for some private time to read, watch a movie, or even just think. Inside the home, this can be an...

A DIY Privacy Screen Makes a Simple, Attractive Addition to a Yard

A DIY privacy screen is a great way to create a personal sanctuary and add visual interest to your yard. There are a few people I know of who have built privacy screens on their properties. One friend with a townhouse built a freestanding trellis in her backyard and added a privacy screen around the top. This simple modification created a relaxation area that was screened from the upper stories of the homes surrounding her backyard, and she frequently spends weekend afternoons reading there. One family member with a huge lot built a privacy screen on one side of her...

Privacy Railing for Decks Creates a Cozy Place to Relax

Privacy railings for decks can create cozy spaces for families to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about prying eyes. When I was nine years old, I was really eager to hang out at my friend Kevin’s house. The main reason was that he had a Super Nintendo. The second reason was that his 16-year-old neighbor was in the habit of sunbathing out on her parents’ backyard deck next door. This made Kevin the most popular boy in the neighborhood that summer, and we’d all think of excuses to go into the backyard. I’d gotten a football for my birthday that year,...

How to Dress Up a Fence: Ideas for Adding Decorations to Beautify Your Fence and Gate

Wondering how to dress up a fence that’s in need of TLC? Wood stain and decorative hardware can do wonders. The family down the street from me has a Dalmation that’s an escape artist. This dog was once able to get over the wooden privacy fence in the backyard by climbing onto the trash cans and then leaping over the fence. This tendency earned him the nickname “circus dog,” and prompted his owners to start leaving their trash cans in the side yard. Undeterred, the dog then dug his way out of the backyard under the fence. To prevent this,...

Backyard Grape Arbors for the Home Winemaker or Gardener

A pergola or arbor supports vines and provides shade and interest in a yard, making it both beautiful and functional. Back in my early twenties, I bought a younger friend of mine a home brewing kit for his twenty-first birthday, little knowing what I was unleashing. The beer from that first batch was terrible. The next twenty batches were bad, but uniquely bad each time. The twenty-first batch was acceptable as a near substitute for beer, but by then my friend was in college and had moved on to spirits and took up distilling. I hadn’t realized before this that Listerine...
