I have seen many post on here where people have planted trees and tall bushes some have put up fences. I did not want to enclose my whole yard plus I could not afford it so I built a deck. Most of it was built using reclaimed lumber so that cut my cost to a very minimum. Still more to do to call it finished but enough done to share pictures. Okay I think they are all there now so the photos with the houses are my neighbors. The one with the three post is what I had in place from another project that I took down. The brown structure that you see is the outside of my deck and the ones with blue floors is the inside. I need to finish the fencing on the one wall, repaint all the fencing and repaint the floor. I was sitting in it this weekend some and it seemed like a pretty nice hide away.

Looks like it may be some time until you have enough privacy to enjoy your yard nude, the neighbours may not be impressed without some serious screening. I have lots of planting and spent hours nude in my yard yesterday, maybe the last opportunity before our winter. I'd recommend you consider the planting option.

Jun 7, 2021It looks like you could drop a line in the water from there and catch supper.

Jun 19, 2021I put up a close line a secluded a corner of my yard. then over the two clothes line tarps on the two lines to make for some definition. there is a private fence and a chain link fence in that corner. I draped a large piece of shade cloth over the chain link. wella a sunning place with trees and shrubs inside the boundary. Now my wife would like me to put up a 4 foot bamboo fence and take down the tarps...will do. also have a well back there for a hot shower when the hose has been lying in the sun all day. Hot water lasts 3 minutes in a 100 foot hose. Then the waters chills. be careful what you spray after the water is chilled.

A lot of people look for certain things when buying a home. Some want a garage, pool, low maintenance yard. I look for privacy. I have friends with expensive beautiful homes but I think in my mind when I'm there that I would not be happy there because of the impossibility of outdoor privacy.
I'm in a community setting but I have a large second level private deck that faces the woods. On one side I put a gazebo house with privacy panels and on the other I have a partial wall that has a retractable wall ( purchased on Amazon for those interested).ReactReply - MEMemberJul 24, 2021
Privacy is important so that you don't impose on the neighbours and they don't limit your freedoms. Respect each other and you generally be fine, .... and I recommend putting up a fence and screening.

Jul 26, 2021You're fortunate. I, am, too, because I have no neighbors who can look into my back yard. Well, I think that one can if he stands on his porch, but I've heard no complaints. The back yard currently looks like a disaster area due to some re-landscaping my wife is doing, but at least I have privacy there when I'm working on my own projects.

Jul 27, 2021When we bought our house we wanted a private yard and found one with a wooded property behind us. Being nude in back yard is no issue. I enjoy working on the house while nude.

Jul 27, 2021I can only go out at night because I live in a fairly well populated neighborhood with moderate vehicle traffic during the day. I also live on a corner lot with very little fencing. What fences I have are 6 ft. tall and between neighbors to the south and west. I sat out tonight for about 20 minutes. Really nice weather for hanging out naked and no car traffic this late (11:30 pm).

Jul 29, 2021I don't worry about the neighbors. I have a fence that sheilds me on two sides but houses on the other two sides can see me nude. They don't care really. They may stare a bit or say hi and I say hi back. I am unashamed to be nude as is my husband.

I dont have issues with the neighbors. We have a gate and only a few people have access codes. One is the mail lady so she can delivery packages that dont fit in the mailbox. Today I was working on my back deck, nude as usual, and was busy when I hear the horn sound. I look up and the mail lady drove up. Where I was she would not have seen me. I go in and get some shorts. I go out to get the mail which had a long box. Anyway, I told her I prefer being nude and put on shorts so I would not offend her. She told me she would not have a problem with it. So, next time she brings mail and I am out there I wont worry about offending her.

I hope to create a backyard nude oasis soon too. Currently, we are in a rental house and the backyard is a fairly large size, but its a fishbowl! Its open to both side neighbors AND the neighbor behind us -- only a 4' chain link fence separates the yards.
Since we are renting, I don't want to invest too much into fencing or landscaping. So, we're going to create a wire and curtain system to hang from the steel patio covered area. It'll make a nice 12' x 13' enclosed area. We're also thinking of getting a portable/inflatable hot tub for the patio.ReactReply
