I got a super summery ‘privacy fence’ for just £2 from B&Q – it works perfectly in my garden & is SO easy to install
A WOMAN who has transformed her outside space with a pretty pergola has revealed how she gave it some additional privacy for just £2.
Keen gardener Emily Meeson recently unveiled the results of her garden makeover, complete with a DIY pergola she and her partner had impressively built with the help of her grandad.
But after admiring her handiwork, which took around three hours to put up, Emily decided she wanted to upgrade it.
She shared how she was keen to give her small outside space a further layer of privacy so it felt even more like a sanctuary.
And she soon found her answer thanks to an easy-to-install £2 purchase from B&Q.
Emily, who shared the idea on her TikTok account @emkmeeson, explained: “We built the pergola at the weekend but decided it needed a little bit of extra privacy.”
She then shared how she got the idea of putting up a simple curtain on her fence so her neighbours couldn’t peer over – acting as a stylish privacy fence.
And she found just the right one when she spotted a summery, cream curtain on B&Q’s shelves that she knew she had to nab called the Tolok.
Emily continued: “So we headed to B&Q to grab the brackets and the curtain pole.
“And I actually found this curtain in the sale for £2 – bargain!”
Emily then shared footage of the finished result, as the cream curtain blended in perfectly with the rest of the furniture underneath the pergola.
And it’s clear she was thrilled with her choice when she stated: “And here we are.
“I think it looks perfect and super summery.”
Emily wasn’t the only one that held that opinion, either.
Many other social media users flocked to the comment section to say that seeing her post had “made their day”, as they were now going to follow in her footsteps.
One person gushed: “That’s a great idea, thanks.
“So happy you shared your DIY – this is exactly what we need.
“You’ve made my day, we can now have privacy too.”
While another hinted that they were going to B&Q to try to hunt down the exact same one.
