Easy Poor Man's Fence?

how tall and what purpose? does it need to block sight? meet city codes? what's the purpose of the fence?

I think I know the purpose.

I just bought a house so no more Landlord crap but there is a 200' cedar tree in my back yard that only gives me full sun on half the yard until noon

I have an ad on CL for someone to take the tree down for furniture wood, but I think it's too much work involved so it's a long shot and my front yard sits happily in the sun all day, on a nice East-West path. I could get 20 trees growing nice but want to avoid sleeping in my front yard this Fall and what Hater's do here which is put up a big sign on their lawn My Neighbor grows Weed with an Arrow.. however, my one side neighbor is badly hiding their own one tree... it's kinda cute how badly... so not worried except they might want more than one come Fall...

I want a 6' Fence that at the very least someone passing (quiet neighborhood, no through traffic, foot traffic is rare) would have to stop and peer in long enough to confirm yes, the only house on the street with a tall front fence is indeed the one the fresh blooming cannabis is at. I don't supposed anyone has a way to stop that lol? I know it is just a deterrent, their will be adequate security.

1.5m or so I would recommend, to keep out most eyes, but you'd really need to get a quote, prices on fences can vary a lot from business to business.
Happy growing.

got it.

that's going to be expensive to build, especially if you want it to last more than one season.

are you thinking long term here, or short term? and what kind of budget?

I hope to build it myself? I can do short term, I honestly have a 5 year plan into a much better outdoor growing suitable residence and a 6 month plan out of poverty lol -I am hoping this summer's harvest will net me enough green paper to build a greenhouse among other things like get a huge tree chopped down -if I can ever get them into the ground (last year this time they were over my head!)

OH and budget is what I can find out of my already sad garden budget... free wood off CL kind of budget
