Another pool whine

[Flatwoods]

I have a chain link fence around the pool.
Not much privacy. I have implemented landscaping to help but it will take time. I still wanted to implement a quicker fix.
I don't care much but some people don't like getting naked when the neighbors might see. Crazy right ?

Checked on these tiny, cheap, privacy slats at Lowes.
Over 7k for what I need. !

I'm sure I could find them cheaper but they are going to have to be a LOT cheaper than that.
I will just build another fence. fuddernutter me.

Wouldn't be cheaper to just buy and wear some swimming trunks?

true story, this midget tried to dig his own pool, dirt got up to his windows. his fence was old garage doors. wanted the pool 8' deep no stairs, loveseat or shallow end.

How many feet of fence and how high?

[Flatwoods]

How many feet of fence and how high?

I guessed 300'. 6Ft high.

[Flatwoods]

Could do half of it but would like to do it all.
Figured I'd look online today and see if I could find it cheaper.

Consider planting some type of bushes or shrubbery along the sides that face the neighbors. It's got to be more aesthetically pleasing than a wall or slats. I wonder if bamboo would provide the privacy you desire but not sure if it would grow in your soil and climate. Consider planting some vines that would climb on and cover your chain link fence. That might work with minimum cost and it would look more attractive. My dad had a chain link fence between his yard and his neighbor's yard. He planted some morning glories and the vines covered the fence in a thick mat and they produced beautiful blue flowers. It gave him total privacy and it looked natural and attractive. Let us know what you eventually decide.

All good thoughts that I have considered. I have planted quite a bit of screening, more coming today.
It still looks like crap in the winter though.
I only need 200' so thats better. Found some online sources.
Looks like I can do it for 1k or so.
I will do it and if I decide I don't like it, I'll remove it and sell on FB Marketplace for $500 in a few hours.
Won't be out more than $500 and several days worth of time.

So what? How often do you use your pool in winter?

If you plant bamboo, it should find its limit at the Mississippi River.
Invasive is a mild word for it.
Even the "clumping" kind.

Trust me, I know. Won't be planting bamboo. Kudzu is better

But you can't make fishing poles out of kudzu. Bamboo is the smart move.

i made a concrete vault for bamboo not sure if it worked.

Blackberry, besides being the material Oregon is made of is a very dense and discouraging hellplant.
