Might want to ask this in the Shrubs Forum or Tree Forum depending on what you're looking for. They will need to know where you are and perhaps a pic or two of the area.

I saw a pic where purses and pants were used as planters and décor on the fence. Very fun and easy...

"Not my fence.!"

Owners may not like hanging things on their fence on their land.

What is your zone? You can use some climbing plants that flower. And now have something nice to look at

I have this saved to my pinterest, but a few years back, someone had done something with all blue glass. It might have been done by a carport or porch?

Yard ark has a great idea for a cheaper fence/privacy fence on landscaping

Well you probably can't grow anything ON the fence if it isn't yours, maybe planting some ornamental grass would help? Maybe you can talk to the owner of the fence about some clematis, it would look beautiful from either side.

That bromeliad fence is stunning! Lucky you to have a climate like that. : )

We are are on a public path and got invaded with ash borer which totally opened up our yard since all the trees had to be cut. We put up Costco's weed fabric with bamboo rods holding it in place at 3' intervals. Plus we used hot glue to attach to the links. Last year we did Dollarama's weed cloth but it was pretty flimsy and lasted only the one season. I think it looks perfectly fine.

Shade cloth is good for privacy too. It is a bit wicked to sew on but can be done. I made shade cloth curtains for my front porch and would easily attach to a chain link fabric. You can see out of it but not into it. I like that part.

Shade Cloth for privacy.

Shades_of_idaho, I have heard of people using fabric shower curtains for outdoor privacy curtains too. Makes sense since they are water resistant and easy to wash plus they come with the built in grommets for hanging.

I like the rolls of thin bamboo used for privacy. They have them at Menards, but I haven't seen them in Home Depot or Lowe's yet this year. There's a 6' height and a 4' height, if I'm correct. But you'd definitely have to ask permission to attach them to a neighbor's fence. But they may like the way it looks too, you never know.
