An amazing solution for an ugly view....

The other day I was driving from Fairfax County Virginia into Prince William County Virginia. As I crossed over the Rt 1 bridge, I noticed this screen on the chain link fence. It was blocking the view of what was going on behind the chain link fence.

Well, that got me to thinking. How many times have you hated the ugly fence in your own yard. May you have dogs and they bark at everything they can see past the fence. Well just imagine if you used a stone wall screen! Can you see how this could change your back yard?

So of course I went to Google, my trusted friend I cannot live without. Look what I found!

FenceScreen.com states on their website Custom Designed Fence Screen is an inexpensive solution offering full color design, personality, privacy and the ability to change the look of any fence.

Can you imagine you could have a stone wall in an afternoon?  As you can see from the snippet below, they use grommets on the screening to allow you to attach to your old ugly fence in minutes! WOW!!

Of course for those that own homes in subdivsions, you would have to get approval for such things.

Peggy,

It certainly is a conversation starter....and I agree, depending on the price point you could make it a seasonal feature.

Good Morning Everyone, I know I was so suprised to see this product. It falls under the category of "Why didn't I think of that Million $ Idea?" LOL!!!

I think this could have many applications. A backyard wedding. Graduation. Just to change the view.  Exterior Staging can make all the difference for some properties.

Good thing you put that process in reverse in your mind.
