We installed a privacy fence on one side of our patio, shielding it from the home on that side. It was approved by the HOA after submitting a drawing of the installation and details of the fence. It is not black iron, but sturdy white plastic. Let the HOA know what you are proposing before buying and installing anything.
We were told only the black iron fences were ok. You can plant high bushes but you have to maintain them..This was told to it s by staff member not our realtor.
