Project summary

The problem

Most privacy problems are one sightline — a neighbour's window, a road, an overlooking deck. Fencing the entire boundary to fix one angle costs far more and makes the yard feel closed in.

What Gary did

Gary builds screening only where the sightline actually is, using slat spacing that blocks the view at the angle it comes from while still letting light and air through.

The result

The overlooked angle blocked, without turning an open yard into a walled box.
