The 3x7ft bamboo fencing is designed to block up to 80 per cent of sunlight while also muffling unwanted noises.
Crafted from natural materials with a smooth surface and neat edges, the screen is said to be both durable and practical.
The listing states: “Bamboo has the characteristics of absorbing dust and moisture, purifying air, and regulating temperature and humidity.”
Lightweight and fully customizable, the fence panels can be cut to any length, allowing buyers to tailor the fit to their space.
Thankfully it isn’t hard to install, and you can attach the bamboo privacy screen to railings or posts using the provided zip ties.
While it should be fairly simple to do, the manufacturer advises wearing gloves for safety during setup.
The bamboo privacy screen isn’t just for your backyard.
The chic, boho-style fencing can be used as a decorative divider for gardens, balconies, patios, porches, rooftops, terraces, or even swimming pool enclosures.
Why not add some fairylights on top to finish off your tranquil space?
You won’t have to wait long for your Amazon purchase, as it typically ships between six and seven days.

WALMART OPTION
You can also keep prying eyes at bay thanks to a handy product being sold at Walmart.
The retailer is selling a “durable” privacy fence for just $34.19 – down from $49.99 – and it could be key for your garden being a peaceful oasis.
Perfect for patios, backyards, or balconies, it can be added to chain link, wood, and wire fences to help cover up any gaps.

Not only can it be used for the edge of your garden or yard, but it can also go around swimming pools, courts, pergolas, and construction sites too.
Families with pets or children will also love the added sense of security.
The listing also states that it can even “prevent dogs from barking at neighbors” as it conceals them from view with the 90 per cent visibility blockage.
The sleek black design is classic and contemporary, adding a clean, modern look to your yard.
The 4ft high by 50ft long fence is made from a heavy-duty knitted net, but it is said to be “breathable” to allow water and air to pass through.
The 90 per cent shade rate also makes it suitable for shading gardens or outdoor dog kennels.
What are the rules around privacy fences in the US?
PRIVACY fences are generally allowed in the United States, but the rules vary depending on local laws, city ordinances, and homeowners’ association (HOA) regulations.
Height restrictions typically limit front-yard fences to 3–4 feet, while backyard or side-yard fences can usually reach 6–8 feet, with taller fences sometimes requiring a special permit.
Materials such as wood, vinyl, metal, chain-link, and bamboo are usually permitted, though some HOAs may restrict certain materials or colors for aesthetic reasons.
Many local codes also require fences to be set back a certain distance from property lines, sidewalks, or streets, and corner lots often have extra rules to maintain visibility for traffic.
Safety considerations are also common, especially around driveways or pools, where visibility and child safety requirements may apply.
In some areas, a permit is required for installation, particularly for taller fences or those in specific locations.
Before putting up a fence, it’s important to check both local regulations and any HOA rules to avoid fines or having to remove the fence.
