Any advice for some TYPE of BORDER to put on ledge of wooden deck 4 privacy??

Question

I demand more privacy w/my husband and this stupid neighbor is ALWAYS talking up a storm, trying to flirt w/me, am sick of it
anyway I need suggestions/ideas on some kind of border type thing for height added onto the surrounding wood ledge rail thing. YOu know what I'm talking about
yeah, it's getting creepy out here, he's lookin out his kitchen window at me and stuff.
NEED advice for privacy
thx

we both have been nice. but he takes nice as an invitation to talk FOREVER.
it's been more and more obvious he has a crush on me. I know my husband has noticed too.
this neighbor is also married and his wife is always inside the house mostly.
I can see she doesn't like it, who the hell would?
its very awkard, as they live right NEXT to us!!!!
I can't even park in my own freakin driveway becoz I now know for a fact that he either is watching me a lot from the window OR he rushes outside to talk to me.
so now I'm looking into getting a 3rd job so I don't have to be home + lookin into exploring some state property to garden in PEACE and QUIET w/out feeling my privacy being INVADED man.
yep, he likes to even take photos of my garden too.

Answer 1

lattice maybe or if you can afford it a tall fence. Tell you husband to have a talk with the nosy neighbor and if that doesn't help talk to the police. maybe it could be considered harassment

Answer 2

How wide is the ledge and how big is the deck? How much are you willing to spend?

If the ledge is wide enough and strong enough, and if you are willing to spend the money, you can place potted flowers and plants that are a couple of feet high on the ledge. There is still a chance they'll tip over, though, and you won't be able to see through them, which will ruin your view. You could build a privacy fence around your yard instead.

Is your neighbor creepy, or is he just bored and people watching to pass the time? Why don't you wave to him, say hi and make small talk for a few minutes, tell him you hope he has a nice day and that you're going to sit on your deck and enjoy some privacy for a while.

Sometimes people come across as bizarre and inappropriate when they're looking for human contact, and a little kindness goes a long way in situations like that. If you are friendly for a couple minutes and then make it clear you're going to enjoy some privacy and quiet time before the rest of your day comes at you (or after you've faced the day as the case may be), I think he'll get the hint.

If he doesn't, build that privacy fence or put your house up for sale. This might be a problem that you can't solve.

Answer 3

well it seems like a job for the police to settle with your neighbor, by what you wrote it sounds like he is a real problem I know its not my place but if I were your husband I would settle the problem real fast first I would build a fence tall and big enough to keep someone like that from watching,taking photos or even wanting to talk with you but its not my place so all I can suggest is build an extension to the existing fence blocking his view go talk with the police telling them when and what is being done and let them take it from there, as my sister who just so happens to work for the police department stated "she has a problem with a stalker peeping tom and harrasment from another human being and needs to file charges" if she wants privacy.
