Recommend a privacy trellis for a gate?

I'm looking to buy a reasonable quality privacy trellis (the type with fake plants to obscure the view) and hoping someone can recommend one.

I can't relax in my own yard due to a nasty stalker neighbour who loiters all day and makes vile remarks about every little thing I'm doing any and every time I go outside.

I'm hoping to find an expanding fake plant trellis I can strap to my little picket fence back gate, as that's her current favourite place to stand on reconnaissance. I can't cope with replacing the gate with a taller one while she's at large because she will be up my arse constantly like white on rice while I'm trying to get it done. I've put trellis on the fence beside the gate and am growing jasmine but I need an emergency privacy fix for the gate itself.

Examples of her charm, should anyone be interested: Quietly sitting on my deck eating lunch. Nearly jumped out of my skin when NN leant into my yard behind me and screeched "how can you eat that SHIT?! It's DISGUSTING!!" (It was salad.)

Creocoting my wooden fence. NN runs out screaming: "what the fuck is THAT?!"

There are plenty more examples (unfortunately) but those are the shortest to explain and I'm sure you get the idea. Despite the fact she's horrible, I've been kind to her for two years but I'm now done. I can't deal with her invading my privacy and being vile to me anymore.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Move house away from her. 😊

Other than that check Amazon for privacy screening - ivy leaf for some ideas.
