One homeowner wanted to keep peeping toms away, so he transformed his entire outdoor space.
The DIY planter box not only gave her privacy, but also a luxurious upgrade.
In a viral video, Katelyn (@katelynwine) didn't like her attitude neighbor Her patio was “in full view.”
This prompted her and her partner to come up with a plan.
Tall planter boxes seemed like the perfect solution to give it a secluded feel.
All you need is a decorative touch or two.
A coat of black paint gives an otherwise plain planter a whole new look.
The height was also increased by incorporating fake plants.
Modifying your own planters will help you avoid prying eyes and make them look so good that you won't want to take your eyes off them.
The best part is that it does not require homeowner association approval.
Many of her fans may empathize with her desire for privacy.
One follower said: “One of the things I value when shopping is privacy in my backyard. People understand how important that is to some of us and introverts. I haven't,” he said.
Another viewer said: “Some people say the neighbors don't watch, but I do too! I've caught her many times. So does the renter! Me too. We have to catch her on video.”
Additionally, some people had their own suggestions for styling outdoor spaces.
“Home Depot has drop down shades/privacy curtains. They're $22 and I have two for this exact reason. I love them so much,” one watcher said.
“Planter boxes are a good idea, but if you want 100% privacy, a real tree is much better. Your work will look great,” says another lifeguard. I did.
To get started on a budget-friendly DIY privacy project, Home Depot is selling Brooklyn Stainwood Planter Boxes for $29.97.
The weatherproof purchase, which requires no assembly, is said to be perfect for outdoor spaces like decks, patios, and porches.
