A DIY pro has revealed how he made a privacy fence on his patio to hide from neighbours but everyone has pointed out one huge mistake.
Royce, who specialises in home renovations, showed off his new fence in a recent TikTok video.
In the clip, Royce said: "Turns out there's a bunch of us that wanna block out our neighbours with a privacy fence.
"So I found the hardware. I got a 12ft Patio out the back door of my house, and as you can see, zero privacy.
"You can also see that the yard is a little bit interesting and I personally rather not look at it."
He first started by adding posts to the patio to create the structure for his new fence.

He then began cutting boards to fit into the structure and painted them black.
He then added brackets along the posts and screwed the boards in, allowing them to turn like blinds so he can open and close them when he wanted extra privacy.
The video posted to his account @royce_renovations has gone viral with over 10 million views and over 760k likes.
Despite being chuffed with his new privacy fence, many people pointed out an error in his search for seclusion.

His neighbour had an elevated wooden balcony in their garden – meaning they could still peer over the fence and he could still see them.
One person wrote: "All that and the neighbors can still see you from their elevated deck."
Another commented: "Too short they are able to see from above."
"Some trees would be a better investment," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "So you only want a sometimes privacy fence?"
