I’m a ‘hillbilly’ and found a cheap 5p trick to help cover my fence for privacy – but not everyone’s convinced
A WOMAN has shared the cheap and clever trick she uses to help cover her fence for privacy.
Ash, who refers to herself as a ‘hillbilly,’ explained how she was desperately trying to find a bargain solution to get some privacy from her neighbours.
And it turns out she found the solution in a 5p product – a zip tie.
“I have a cool hack to show you because I have this chain link fence that goes all around my property and there’s not a lot of privacy,” she says, in a clip shared to TikTok.
“So, I’m a hillbilly so I like to do hillbilly things.
“I got this cover…it’s a ground cover they use to cover weeds.”
She then heads outside to show off her fence – and the cover has completely blocked out the view from any nosy neighbours.
“Check this out! This is my fence,” she enthuses.

“So you can see on the other side, it’s private!
“What I did was just put a little hole with zip ties and it’s like a totally private thing so this whole area inside my house will be private.”
Delighted with the results, Ash adds: “It rained all day today and this thing has been soaking in the rain and it’s still here, so that’s another little life hack for you!”
She captioned the post: “Testing out a cheap way to cover my fence for privacy.”
The post has since garnered a whopping 48k views, but despite being chuffed with the finished result, not everyone was quite as impressed.
“This did not work I spent the £31 and the wind took it down the next day,” wrote one.
Ash replied: “Oh no! Make sure to cut a couple holes in the middle to allow air to pass through.”
Elsewhere, others were full of praise for Ash’s clever idea.
“Great idea!” praised one.
A second penned: “That’s such a good idea!”
A third commented: “Genius.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Awesome idea!”
Another chimed in: “Oh my gosh, it looks so great!”
A further wrote: “Smart idea.”
And one more added: “Smart. I zip tied bamboo poles to my chain link. This looks great for a large area!”
