Now that Ralph (25+ pound, 18-20 inch Sulcata) roams freely in the backyard, I am needing some visual barriers. We have two different fences in the backyard. One is chainlink that sits on top of cement. The cement comes into the yard by about 6 inches. The side fences to the neighbor's houses have a wooden privacy fence. Not so private if you have a tortoise who can see through the slats.
I'm looking for suggestions for a visual barrier for both fences. I can not attach anything permanent, nor can I dig any type of post holes. We are in military housing and are very limited on what we can do.
I thought about cinderblocks, but those will get too expensive.
The chainlink fence is approx 75 feet long.
The total length of the privacy fences combined is about 125 feet.
I only want to the visual barrier to go halfway up each fence, more importantly half way up the chainlink fence. My kids play in the grassy field/common area behind my house and I need to be able to see them.
I want something that's pleasing to the eye, yet easy on the wallet. I'm at a loss. I thought about lattice, but Ralph can still see through and I'm afraid he'd just tear it down. Plus, it wouldn't work so well on the chain link.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
