Ugly fence

Hello,
I have a long...160ft, narrow(ish) garden with a five foot fence on each side. What would be a quick way...using plants to help disguse it?
I think tall, evergreen something..just don't know what.
Any idea or advice welcome.

Create sub-divisions by creating beds that extend into the middle of the garden on alternate sides - they can be squares or rectangles, triangular or curved, according to taste.
Plant up with some attractive shrubs, including some evergreens, a small tree or two to add height, then fill in with perennials, annuals and bulbs.
Add some climbers to your fence. With the full view obscured you could mix both evergreen and deciduous for variety and summer colour. You will need to add support such as trellis or wires attached to the fence posts, the latter only if it is your fence or with permission. For something fast for this year you could get some sweetpeas from a garden centre, something to look at while you research climbers.
It would also be helpful to know the soil type, what way it faces and how much sun it does, or doesn't get. All these things will affect what will do well there and what won't.
