The door of the lanai opens into that area also.
We moved from a house with a beautiful back yard and this situation is very disappointing!
We don't want large traditional shrubs crowding our screens. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you!

Some beautiful growing flowering vines, just place some sm hooks and let them grow. Never heard o 7' variance , unless its part of a "right of way" ... in that case.. that vinyl fence .. had to do a 7' rule too... so depends on where YOUR PROPERTY LINE REALLY IS. i'm thinking, before the vinyl fence was placed, it was placed 3.5' back from Their property line.. then "YOU" would do 3.5' from your property line to get the 7' rule. its not all on you. You really need to clarify this. But I do like the vine idea and its beautiful. win win...thinking too maybe a thin netting you can place on the vinyl that vines can crawl all over the place.
