Problems with a shared garden

I have an end of terrace house which shares a garden. I own my part of the garden but there's a covenant that stipulates no fences to be erected. There are 14 houses which share the garden. There's a big willow tree in the middle, my bit has two huge trees on the side, and all the houses have a patio with a picket fence. The rest is laid to lawn. I wonder if anyone could give me some ideas on how to give my part of the garden some character as well as give myself some privacy.

Hedges aren't fences.....
Assuming an obelisk wouldn't be described as a fence. You could buy two from Wilko's at a cheap price and grow a carefree climber such as a honeysuckle and or a passiflora. Fasten a swag between both and create a nice private curtain.
Another alternative would be to get some large pots in which you could add some trellis for a climber. Depending on the size of the garden you shouldn't need too many.
Lastly, a tiered planter would also solve your problem. You can get various sorts with different sections for different plants. Depending on the ground, you can make some moveable.
I like the idea of the obelisk, some good ideas there. Thanks
