how to hide old fence
my next door neighbour's pride and joy is a decrepit old ranch style fence,
5 inch planks with 2 inch gaps, total height about 6 foot. The posts are rotten, but he insists on making odd repairs because the whole thing is over 30 years old! It is only fit for tearing down, but he wont hear of it, even though I have offered to pay for a new one. To make matters worse, we cant go out in the garden without him appearing at the gaps like a chad. To be fair, he is a friendly old chap, (74) but it can get a bit wearing all the time (last night, at 9.45pm he knocked on my door to ask me if I would "like to see Mars!") And no, he's not lonely, he has a wife and son in his house, and two others who visit a couple of times a week. Could anyone suggest some shrubs, climbers etc that i can plant to give us some privacy in the long term. I do not want to fall out with him, but in the last few days he has taken to climbing over a five foot wall to dab paint on our side, when we are out. My wife is terrified of finding him collapsed on the floor after one of his excursions. And, he cannot climb back over , so we have to let him out through the house. |
