My neighbors, on both sides, just built decks overlooking my patio. I would like to restore my privacy. I know the building code prohibits fences higher than six feet. However, the code doesn’t seem to have any limitation on awnings. I’m thinking of installing a canvas “awning”, protruding eight feet out and seven feet high, parallel to their decks only. It wouldn’t cover my patio.

As anybody seen anything like this before?
