My wife and I just bought a house in the city. Our backyard is mall and concrete. When we bought the house it had a chainlink fence which provided no privacy and wasn't great to look at either. We got an estimate for putting in a wood privacy fence which we would were told would be $3000. This was a much more affordable solution. It was easy to put up, and it gives a good amount of privacy. Plus its sustainable. I did use wire to attach it to the fence which got tiring after awhile and cut up my hands so if you're planning on using wiring definitely wear gloves!
