I built a cheap Lowe's privacy fence for $375

A DIY fan has said she built a fence to avoid prying eyes before it was blown down by a hurricane.

The content creator revealed she used PVC panels to build the fence.

Malinda (@Malinda153) told fans in a viral clip that she constructed it to avoid strange eyes.

The fence sealed off her yard and her swimming pool.

Malinda said she forked out $375 on the panels from the popular retailer Lowe's.

But, she revealed that a hurricane blew the fence down.

Malinda said that she would rebuild the fence, but said she would use metal panels instead.

The influencer shared several images of the fence from when it was standing.

Meanwhile, The U.S. Sun reported how a farmer, known as Robb (@robbininthetrees) used bamboo fencing to strengthen the fence that surrounds his Airbnb rental home.

He said using bamboo rolls is cheaper than removing and replacing his fence.

In a viral clip, Robb said he attached the bamboo rolls along his chain-link fence and it doubled the height.

It meant that no one could see through the fence anymore.

The farmer explained he paid $55 for a panel, using 10 altogether.

Robb added: "Certainly not cheap, but much cheaper than us pulling down the existing chain link fence."

TikTokers Kristina and Steph (@openhouseaustin) have shared how a more permanent privacy fence can be constructed in a few hours for just $200.

Bargain hunter Sarah (@onecoastliving) said she built a zero-maintenance privacy fence for less than $200.

She bought all the materials from Amazon, including a four-pack of bed risers, cheap gemstones, fake plants, planters, and a privacy trellis.

Sarah captioned the video: "Tall fences make good neighbors."

And, home improvement enthusiast Danielle Short gushed over the retractable fence she bought from Amazon for just $99.
