But for many of us, the thought of nosy neighbours peeking into our outside space can leave us filled with anxiety, and unable to properly relax.
Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive - and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours.
For a simple solution, B&Qs can keep your garden out of view of snoopers, for just £16.
The stylish screen can be easily affixed to an existing fence or balcony, and can be cut to exact size.

How high can a garden fence be?
Despite what many people think a garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission for any fence taller than 2m.
Any fence under 2m does not need planning permission.
However, there are some complications to this.
If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft.
You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.
But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant.
Plus, the product has been made with premium wood and weather resistant plastic, making it extra durable - so you don't have to worry about it coming down in windy or rainy conditions.
A product description reads: "Bring refreshing greenery to your outdoor décor with this artificial hedge panel.
"Designed for versatility, it works as a fence screen, wall décor, or garden hedge.
"Its durable construction offers UV protection, while the breathable design ensures proper airflow.

"Perfect for balconies, patios, or terraces, it combines beauty and practicality without the need for ongoing maintenance."
However, the privacy screen is only available online, so you will have to order it via the B&Q website instead of heading to your local store if you are keen to snap up the bargain.
