My backyard has one of those 5' (guess) black chain link fences at the rear (wood fence on the sides) that I think the city or developer originally installed. I'm always uncertain if I'm allowed to replace as it backs onto a park and there's very few that have replaced.
Anyway, what I was thinking about doing was putting up some lattice an inch off the fence and growing a vine as a privacy wall since I won't really be building a fence any time soon.
Any rules about how high I can build the lattice? I saw one vine, can't remember which that said it can grow 30' in a single season, likely a better climate than Calgary though. Any suggestions for a vine to plant? Thinking about doing it in the next few weeks - might be too late I know, but some plants do better planted in the late summer / fall as it gives the roots a chance to grow while the above ground part doesn't grow too much in late summer. Ends up having a stronger root system, or so I've read.
