privacy fence

Blocks neighbors' view

A privacy fence is a tall fence, typically six feet or higher, designed to block the view into a yard or property.

Unlike decorative or boundary fences, the boards are placed close together with minimal gaps: They installed a privacy fence after the neighbors got a hot tub.

Usually made of wood or vinyl.
