Why Choose a Privacy Fence for Trash Cans?
Maintaining a clean, organized exterior space involves more than just basic upkeep. A privacy fence for trash cans is an excellent solution to keep trash bins, garbage cans, and other outdoor equipment like air conditioners and pool equipment hidden from view. Not only does it improve curb appeal, but it also tackles the common issue of eye sores produced by trash can enclosures or AC units.
Types of Materials

PVC
PVC is a popular choice for privacy fences due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. Vinyl privacy fence panels are available in various designs, including lattice tops or solid panels to match your aesthetic preferences.
