another option is to attach galvanized metal sheets over the chain link fence. They come in diff colors or can be painted and can be bought at HD/Lowes

Thanks for the ideas, including the simple brown tarp. The latter is by far the cheapest option I’ve seen. Does anyone know if the Ikea stuff holds up to UV?

I found the very cheapest way I ordered 5 4ft by 20ft brown tarps from global industrial.com for $85 after shipping and handling and I secured it with zip ties, it fixed my problem my dog cannot see anything on that side and it looks decent.

[...] been thinking about trying to create a little privacy along our back fence for quite some time. I saw the DYNING wind/sun shield at IKEA this weekend, and at just $7.99 I figured it was worth a [...]

I don’t know if anyone is still looking at this tread, but I was wondering if anyone has seen the Ikea wind/sunshields at Ikea this year? When I click on the link in the original story it takes me to the Ikea login screen. I’ve done a search on the Ikea.com and Ikea.ca website but no luck.

Can anyone help?

There are brackets made by oz-post – I think they are called, appropriately enough, oz-brackets. ;) Then you can affix wooden privacy panels to your chain link fence and paint. You don’t have to take down the chain link – you can leave that up on the side you don’t want to see. Paint, stain, graphic, etc, on the side you do.

What I’m doing this spring is painting our chain link using a big, fluffy paint roller, then over-seeding morning glories and moon flowers to use it as a giant trellis.

Yeah, it seems as though you’ve steered away from the vines idea, but wanted to add that if you plant two types of vines they can take turns looking lush. Its more low maintenance than you think… I don’t know what grows up north but here in Florida have had great success with wisteria, bleeding heart vines, climbing roses, morning glories and even some “trained” shubbery like lorapetum (sp?).

Best of luck with your delivery! Looking forward to the pics!
