Chain Link Fence and Privacy

I have a 6ft chain link fence around one side of my backyard. Privacy was never a big deal because one neighbor is never outside (there is stockade on that side) and a little old lady on the other.

Last fall, the older woman moved in with her son and they rented the house. The couple are very nice, but when they sit on their deck, they can see right into my yard. There are times when the guy sits out there and it feels like he's staring into the yard!

I thought about those privacy strips but was wondering if anyone ever did something different. My Mom mentioned something about a canvas that hangs over the fence?? It's about 10 feet that I'd need to cover.

TIA
Lisa

I don't have chain link, but just did a quick search. There's faux ivy you could look into:

The faux ivy is not bad at all.

The problem with landscaping is the fence is right along the line of the back of the house to the end of the back yard if that makes sense. On the other side of the fence is my very long driveway. I will try and post a picture tomorrow.
