Hi Gioenne. Not really. We purchased "advanced" Lilly Pillies for along the back of the fence. They're about the same height as the fence (1.8m). We've also been keeping the interior blinds partially lowered / closed. At the moment, we don't have any outdoor furniture so privacy while relaxing or entertaining outside hasn't been a big problem. Once we have purchased some outdoor furniture we'll re-evaluate the situation depending upon how much the Lilly Pillies have grown. With all of the other "new home" expenses, we'll probably just entertain in full view of our neighbours!

@Wuff good to hear. We've settled on the stacker doors for those same reasons, for the project. Have bifolds at current house & I like them but at time of installation approx. 8 yrs ago we wanted them to fold inwards so we could screen them, oh no never heard of that, can't do that (they said). Of course now that's all possible, consequently rarely are they opened fully. At least we have a fixed/opening door on one side of the bifold set & also another single security screened door at the back of the house as a main entry point that we leave open all day.

There is a company in Sydney called Sydney timber supplies who are screening specialists, check their website or their phone number 1300 779 559. Hope this helps.

Funny you suggested those ideas Julie. As I have a bunch of the same and similar saved images. I was thinking to do this at the other end of the pool off the pergola. Doing something similar down the back fence would mirror off that so that would be nice. I would either maybe have to do it on the fence or further in from the fence as I have that drain there. I will have to check the rules on that. Thanks for your ideas
