As a slightly 'kooky' take on the thread I would like to add that trellis itself does the job of climbing plants, so whatever climbing plants you choose regard them as an adornment, and not a vital part of obscuring your willy from view...

I make this statement on the principle of the 'net curtain phenomenon', whereby you can see out, but the buggers (your neighbours) can't see in....

Diamond expanding trellis is good, but cheaply made.  Home-made is better, cos you can choose the gap spacing, and will outlive you if properly treated with preservative.

Foremost in your mind should be the conviction that you've nothing to hide, and are doing no wrong.  Obscuring the view from your neighbours is a courtesy to them, and not an obligation on you.  Unadorned trellis will do this.  Any plantlife - consider bindweed (convulvulus) will just obscure the view even more, to the point that you're spoiling your neighbours with the consideration you show.....

Not sure if you will find it here in the Uk as the climate might not be suitable. In Spain we have a plant called Lady of the night.
It is a climber and the perfume is beautiful specially at night, but you can still smell it during day time as is very strong.

Incredible scent, think it is a type of Jasmine.
Looked at it years ago but not sure if it would grow well over here

Not entirely true.  You can see through the curtain if you are on the darker side.  During daylight the light outside is brighter than in your room so you can see through the curtain and people outside cannot see in.  However, at nighttime the position is reversed: the room lights are on and it is dark outside so you can't see out but someone in the garden can see everything inside clearly.  This effect is known in the theatre as "pepper's ghost" and is used to cause apparitions to 'appear' on stage by adjusting the stage lighting accordingly.

Nocturnal naturism, a new trend.

I'm naked in my houes what ever the time of day and I sleep nude, as do an awful lot of people.  So not a new trend

Is sleeping naked classed a naturism? I have slepped naked since my late teens for comfort, but we  only  started to enjoy being  naked out doors about twelve years ago.
