Tasteful ideas for covering an iron gate patio door so the neighbors can’t see in?

Posted by admin
Nicolleta asked:


We have a private patio in our condo but the entrance to the patio has a barred iron gate that everyone can see through when they walk by. (The rest of the patio is surrounded by a tall solid wooden fence) I want to make it more private by covering the gate with something. It needs to look nice though. Ideas?

      What if you hung something decorative on it like a large wreath or other object? Just be sure to secure it in multiple spots so it doesn’t bang when you open and close the gate or when the wind blows.

      You can attach several layers of shear curtains at the top by using magnetics. They’ll stay in place if there is a ledge or if not then some of that double-sided super sticky tape under the magnetics.
