How to quickly close the plot from neighbors: a solution that really works

Summer is the time when we are especially drawn to the fresh air. We want to have breakfast on the terrace more often, relax in the yard, or just enjoy the silence of our own space. But at these moments, a very natural desire arises — to protect ourselves from unwanted gazes.

Clients often ask:
“How do I hide my plot from prying eyes?”
“How can I conceal a wire fence to make it look beautiful and neat?”
These questions are relevant not only for owners of country cottages or private houses but also for residents of city estates and even balconies in high-rise buildings. After all, comfort starts with the feeling of security and coziness.
People are looking for “cheap alternatives to thuja,” “how to make a living wall without plants,” “fence from neighbors without permits,” “protection from prying eyes,” and want it to be aesthetically pleasing, simple, and inexpensive.

🎯Real Situation: A Wire Fence That Doesn’t Protect
I often see a typical situation: a metal mesh or sectional fence is installed, but there is no privacy effect. Everything is often visible through such a fence, including utility structures, sheds, and even windows. As a result, instead of a cozy yard, we end up with an open space devoid of a sense of privacy.
A universal solution will be roll-up green covering from TM Engard, which imitates a living green hedge, requires no maintenance, does not fade in the sun, and instantly creates a sense of enclosure and coziness.

This is an economical and practical option that allows you to quickly turn a mesh into a decorative “green wall” — without construction work, permits, or years of waiting for something to grow.

🌿 What is roll-up green covering?
It is a lightweight artificial covering with leaves attached to a flexible mesh. It is simply rolled out along the fence and secured with ties.
Here’s what you get:

• Privacy in 10 minutes — without permits, foundations, and teams.
• A beautiful appearance — looks like real leaves.
• Economy — it’s a cheap living hedge that requires no maintenance.
• Mobility — suitable for cottages, rental plots, and even balconies.
• Additional protection from noise, wind, and sun — acts as a screen and backdrop.

For example, coverings in a roll like “Bright Leaves” or “Young Leaves” cover everything and look concise and natural.

Before / After: How the Plot Changes
Look at the photo.

Before — a typical gray mesh, everything behind it is visible.

After — a dense green wall, against which one wants to place a bench, create a corner for relaxation.
It’s the same space. But now it looks neat, complete, and natural.

And if you want a more realistic decorative hedge — there is an alternative

For those who want a premium option, I recommend modular covering or ready-made artificial green walls from TM Engard. This is not just a fence but a design element that looks at the level of restaurant VIP terraces and office rest areas.

🌱How to Choose the Highest Quality Artificial Hedge?

If you have already chosen the path of greening the fence without planting trees and shrubs, you should immediately think about the quality of the artificial covering. The Ukrainian market is now flooded with options: rolls, panels, “live” mesh, modules with leaves… But not everything that looks green will serve long and attractively.

Here’s what I advise to pay attention to for practical choice:

• Realism of Imitation
  🔎Search Queries: realistic artificial hedge, buy living wall with leaves

The highest quality models imitate natural leaves so well that from 1-2 meters they are almost indistinguishable from real plants. If you see “plasticity” from afar — pass by.
💡Tip: pay attention to whether the density and shade are uniform throughout the area. If the leaves look spotty — this is a sign of mass, low-quality production.

• Tactile Feel and Density
  Search Queries: dense artificial hedge, greenery protection from neighbors

I always recommend, if possible, touching the material before buying. Well-made artificial leaves are not rough or brittle; they are pleasant to the touch, and when lightly shaken, they move like real ones.

• Strength of the Base (Mesh)
  Search Queries: fence wind protection, stable green hedge

It’s not just the leaves that matter. Manufacturers often skimp on the base — and we end up with a thin mesh that bends and breaks. Look for a thick, stable polymer mesh that holds shape and withstands wind, snow, and rain.

• Protection from Fading
  Search Queries: green hedge UV protection, artificial greenery in the sun

Budget products often lose color in the first summer. I recommend paying attention to UV-resistant labeling. For example, modular panels from Engard have UV protection, so they do not lose their properties or fade even on southern facades.

• Certificates and Manufacturer
  Search Queries: certified artificial hedge, decorative panels ISO

Conscientious manufacturers openly publish information about certification (ISO, RoHS, REACH). If this is not available — there is a risk that the product will be unstable, toxic, or quickly deteriorate.
🟢 In Ukraine, Engard products are one of the few examples where quality is officially confirmed. Their modular systems are safe, durable, and designed considering the climate.

If you need to quickly close the fence, — roll-up covering will be perfect. And if you want sophisticated aesthetics — choose certified modular panels and green walls.
💬 As our clients say after installation: “Now our yard looks like on Pinterest, and finally nothing is visible from the street.”
