Welcome to our forum.
I like the shrubs as well, but the wife's wrried about them attracting more bugs?
Have you spoken to anyone at a local nuserary? Â I don't think swarming bugs when I think hedges. You might get a few, but do you think there will be enough to be a concern? Â I'd rather have the natural hedge, than a fence. Â
I was looking for a way to privacy fence 2 sides of my tub which is on a deck and ran across this:http://www.deckmateusa.com
Notice their "partner" in the lower LH corner? Regardless, it looks like a nice system. Â Do you know the cost? Did you install it? Â If so, how does it handle wind? Â FWIW, I have the same lawnmower and outdoor shower, but a different wife. Â I'm sure she has never used it, because it is hooked up to a cold faucet.
