# How to Use Old Sheets to Make an Outside Privacy Area
Oftentimes, porches and backyards lack the environmental factors that provide a sense of personal privacy for the people using the spaces. For those looking for resourceful ways to invent an element of seclusion, creating a privacy area for your front lawn, porch or backyard is a chance to utilize seldom-used household items like old sheets to inexpensively build new dimensions onto your home.
Things You'll Need
- Old sheets
- Clothes pins
- Rope or wire
- Metal Poles
Instructions

1
Determine and measure the perimeter of the area to be sectioned off.
-
2
Cut the rope or wire to the approximate perimeter measurements.
-
3
Place sturdy metal poles into the ground at the points you want the privacy area to begin and end.
-
4
Tie the rope or wire to the tops of the metal poles, creating a straight line between them.

Use clothespins to hang your old sheets from the rope or wire, creating a thin wall between your privacy area and the surrounding areas. If you can still see through the sheets, double up by stacking two sheets together for added thickness.
