I fixed the last of the trim pieces to the privacy screen, I concluded it wasn’t a fence because it wasn’t solid. I wanted it this way, the neighbours weren’t bothered, as I was doing it, and they weren’t paying for it, they went along with my design.
I’m not sure they fully grasped the concept of my off-set slatted privacy screen. I am waiting for them to comment, that in order for the screen to act like a solid fence they have to remain perfectly still, and look straight at the slats, they dare’t move their heads, even a few millimetres otherwise they would look straight through the gaps and maybe see me scratching my arse.
Walking up the path would be like a flicker book that replicates the movement of a cartoon. I don’t know what the effect would be if they’re walking up their path and I’m walking down mine, maybe some strobe like phenomena causing both of us to have an epileptic episode.
