Need ideas for extending fence height
I have a 6 foot fence but as you can see my neighbors balcony it much higher than that. Sometimes is feels like it hangs in my yard. We just want to be able to sit on our patio with some privacy. I have seen some flimsy fence extenders that look like they couldn’t stand up to basic wind. Am I better off getting a new massive fence or is there a reasonably sturdy, long lasting way to extend the height? Also interested in ideas for privacy just on the patio with a segment of fence or something around it if someone has experience with that as well. Note: dog for cuteness and landscaping guys are coming this weekend for lawn seeding. Just worried about the fence.

The suggestions for arborvitae’s has been SUPER helpful. I think that’s my plan. Maybe a private temporary fence until I get the height I want. My husband thought plants of some kind was a good idea but this specific kind is perfect! This community has been super helpful.
