Add plants in planters. Then you can change up

[Calisport]

I’ve had vines and they create a mess as well as plants that are planted to block something. I always removed vines unless they are growing on permanent stone or walls that belong to you.

There are several on-line sites -- including Amazon -- that sell "privacy fence vines" that are for the outdoors (fade resistant) made out of some sort of plastic. They come on an expandable trellis that you can just set up and move as needed. Don't know how realistic they look, but it may be an easy solution to add plant screening without the hassle.

That looks like a plastic fence. You won’t have to worry too much about plants causing a problem on a plastic fence. I have a white Mandeville growing on a black iron trellis against a grey, stucco house. I think it looks good and not too much work. I do keep it trimmed and I keep it away from the wall. Freestanding trellises are another idea if you want to keep plants off the fence. Plants are beautiful and fun. Just don’t look the other way too long or they will grow wild.

Should we let the vines grow into each other (pic 1) or keep them trimmed (pic 2).

I don't want it too look even more 'busy' with all the flowers already out there.

Both are beautiful. But I have to go w the majority here, your white fence will turn green, and then black in short order. In October my white fence had a few areas of pale green, by January those areas were at least 5x larger and black w mold. Power washing was the only resolution.

Very pretty! You've given me ideas.

We had a mural painted on the back wall of our villa (not the white plastic fence that divides the property) to give us some life out there. Our daughter is an excellent free-hand artist, and an even better pickleballer. I'd love to show you our mural but I'm unable to upload it.
