			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Outdoor-Garden.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2408" title="Patio Retreat" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Outdoor-Garden-300x199.jpg" alt="Make your outdoor area a private retreat." width="300" height="199" /></a>You don’t necessarily need a fence to turn your patio or outdoor living area into a private retreat.  You can incorporate and arrange items to create your own slice of little outdoor heaven.</p>
<h3>Plants and Furnishings Lead the Way to Paradise</h3>
<p>Shrubs, bushes, and trees placed around the perimeter of your property can provide you with as much privacy as some types of fences.  Smaller shrubbery is less expensive, but you will have to wait for the plants to grow for maximum privacy.  Think about buying a few more mature bushes or trees to place in strategic locations.</p>
<p>Trellises, arbors, or pergolas also provide a level of privacy.  Plant climbing vines that will, over time, completely cover the area and also provide lovely aromas when they bloom.</p>
<p>Consider the ideal location for any patio furnishings to lend more privacy when you are on your patio or in your backyard.  Angling furniture away from the direct view of your neighbors will give you an added sense of privacy.</p>
<p>Creating your outdoor private retreat can be accomplished in many different ways.  Incorporating different plantings and patio furnishings will turn your currently unshielded patio area into your own little private retreat.</p>
<p>Whatever your redesign plans may be for your <a title="patio" href="../../" target="_blank">patio</a> and <a title="outdoor living" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/outdoors.aspx" target="_blank">outdoor living</a> areas, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> can help with brand-name products at savings up to 50% off retail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1046" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="private outdoors" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/private-outdoors.jpg" alt="private outdoors" width="349" height="231" />Your patio should be your very own retreat away from the rest of the world so having a private patio area is extremely important. If you don’t have a fence, there are other options to creating privacy.</p>
<h3>Mother Nature</h3>
<p>Use what Mother Nature gave you by planting bushes, shrubs, or trees around the perimeter of your property. Plants lining your property are a great way to beautify your home and give you privacy from neighbors.</p>
<h3>Patio Furniture Arrangement</h3>
<p>You could also try arranging your patio furniture in a way that makes your backyard area more private. Angle your furniture in a particular way that is out of the direct view of neighbors to give yourself a sense of privacy.</p>
<h3>Arbors &amp; Trellises</h3>
<p>Made from sturdy wood or dependable vinyl, garden arbors can create some privacy in your backyard. They won’t totally shut you out from the rest of the world but they can provide some sort of privacy.</p>
