I ditched my noisy chain link fence for a wooden privacy one on a budget…now everyone’s calling me out on the same thing | The Sun

A WOMAN has revealed that she was fed up with her noisy chain link fence, so she decided to build a wooden privacy fence instead.

On a budget, the DIY fan got to work and built her own fence for £688.



Olivia, who posts on TikTok under the username @olivia.de.vin, took to the video sharing platform to document the process of her fence build.

But everyone was left saying the same thing after seeing the finished look. 

The DIY whizz shared her clip with the caption ‘Converting our chain link fence into a wooden privacy fence!’ and said: “When we bought the house, there was a 4ft chain link fence here and with our dogs and their dog next door, it just got to be a little bit less than peaceful outside.

“So we decided to build the 6ft privacy fence.”

In the clip, we saw Olivia and her partner build their fence, as she continued: “My back hurts so bad from building this, but this time lapse is so satisfying.”

She then showed off the finished fence, as she beamed: “I love how much more privacy we have.

“I'm so excited to hang out in the backyard all summer long.”

Olivia later added: “This cost us about $900 [£688] in materials for 90 feet.”

However, at the same time, many social media users called out Olivia for giving her neighbour the good side of the fence.

One person said: “If I’m wasting my own money I’d never give the neighbour the good side.”

Another added: “I think you did the fence backwards.”

One user even stated: “Looks horrible, that's the worst side.” 

Meanwhile, someone else commented: “Why did you give the neighbours the “good side”?”
