A SAVVY homeowner has totally divided opinion after revealing the stylish DIY privacy wall she built to prevent her nosy neighbours from looking in.
The creative woman, who had a helping hand from her partner, explained how she was fed up of having "no privacy" on the decking in her garden, so decided to take matters into her own hands.
Taking to TikTok (@arhouz), she posted a video captioned: "How we created a stylish privacy wall."
The DIY whizz then shares a photo of a wooden panelled fence she bought online and begins: "So we took this fence and added a twist…"
And for anyone wondering what the twist is, she added some faux greenery to hide the wooden fence panels.
Clearly delighted with the results, she enthuses: "Now we have privacy and a really nice view."
