    Just to let everyone know I took Emmia's advice and bought some fake ivy but I ain't a clue how to attach it to the fence 🤣 

    Also I get on with both sides of my neighbours but one side is just very nosy and she sits in her garden all day long esp in the summer and makes her presence known. She isn't one for socialising and coming round for cuppas, we say hi from time to time. I try my best to get on with her but its a funny atmosphere. I get the feeling she just doesn't like me 🤷‍♀️ I'm a very respectful neighbour but when I talk to her and try and be friendly you can cut the atmosphere with a knife, just something off with her

    That Mrs Luther for you.
    As for mounting t'ivy, you need to construct a frame - vertical posts bolted/tie-wrapped/whatevs to the concrete stubs, with horizontal rails ('arris') top and bottom. The ivy will be tied/stapled to this.
    Just how high do you need to go?

    Technically its mine as my ex put that up but the one behind is hers. I did ask her hubby for permission as he is much more chilled and approachable lol

    The fake ivy looks great and seems to be doing a decent job of blocking the neighbour.

    Would you be able to tell me where you got this fake ivy from?
    Luckily I don't have problems with my neighbors, but it looks amazing on the picture and I would like to hang some on my wooden fence too. I guess this is an artificial privacy ivy roll but can you also order it in combination with trellis? Does the company selling them offers to assemble it?

    Plot twist: I came on this forum to find money saving advice, but requested product info with my first post to spend my $$
