A friend of mine just bought a new house with a pool in the backyard...only
that to the south, to the east and to the west are three two story houses
with balconies. So privacy is an issue.

I think he can plant a row of very tall bamboo around the entire perimeter
to archieve the effect of a tall fence. What species should he use and will
it be cost prohibitive to "fence" the entire backyard (75' wide and 50'
length) with bamboo?
