Privacy panels or similar around run?

[chickenana707]

Hey all - me again! As we get ready to start building our coop, I’m considering options as far as privacy for our run (for a couple reasons). Of course I could surround the run with pots of flowers or something like that which could help in the summer months, but what about something like greenhouse panels - or what’s the best clear tarp or covering I could use to help “blur” out the lower half of my run to give privacy? I live in Wisconsin. I’m thinking just the bottom half or even bottom third of the most exposed wall - so there’s still plenty of fresh air getting in via the other walls, but enough to blur out my hens from any nosey passerby's. (I live in a neighborhood). Just trying to think of the best way to do this. Thanks!

You are only blocking one side. My first thought is a row of shrubs, I've done that. Even if you lose all of the leaves in winter, a decent hedge will block vision. Not sure what would work well in your climate but something would.

You might consider lattice panels. Panels that have cross-hatched strips for exactly this purpose. You could use them to support vines if you want to.
