Fence panels with windows in?

Watching last week’s Gardeners World and loving the segment on the show gardens at Gardners World Live - I would have been there if it had gone ahead in June, but I couldn’t use my ticket for August as we were on holiday last week Sad

Anyway there’s a garden called On Your Bike that has lots of structure made from recycled bicycle parts, and I love this fence which has windows in it made of bicycle wheels. www.bbcgardenersworldlive.com/whats-on/on-your-bike

It would make zero sense for me to have bicycle parts in my garden, I haven’t cycled since
I got my driving licence age 17!!!! But I love the idea of fence panels with windows in. I am planning on dividing my garden into two sections and was thinking of using trellis fence panels as the divide but perhaps window fence panels might be more interesting? And allow me to select the view a bit better IYSWIM. The front part of the garden closest to the house will be the leisure/beautiful/ornamental part with seating areas and planting focused on colour and lush greenery, and the back part of the garden behind the fence divide will be the greenhouse, raised bed vegetable garden, and the more ‘working’ part of the garden where I can hide the propagation and less pretty processes!

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? A quick google I can’t find any fence panels that come with window segments in. I can just find one thing on Pinterest where someone has DIY’d something for their dog!

I know B&Q have see through panels, possibly Perspex and some other more ornamental ones in the same range.

I guess you would need to cut your own windows in the panels and frame them.
Or use mirrors to reflect the pretty garden back rather than cutting holes to view what you are trying to conceal!

I was thinking that curating a view of the cordon fruit trees against the brick wall (the “cordchard” if you will!) or of neat raised veggie beds is quite nice, but screening the compost heaps, water butts and pots of dirt looking unexciting until it’s their time to shine etc!!!

I think it would have it be DIY wouldn’t it really.

Definitely want to use mirrors somewhere. Or manywheres.

I’d get a carpenter to cut the holes in so you can have them exactly where you want

Aha, I was judging the 'business' end of your garden by the shocking standards of mine! That sounds lovely!

Well it’s kinda all in my head at the moment….. but there’ll be a good space at the end between the greenhouse and shed for messy things to be tucked away. Might even put another screen at the end of the greenhouse to make sure it’s properly hidden (it’s the north end anyway so I don’t think would affect light too much).
