I love your house numbers :) and that's a fabulous patio set. I have a special aversion to chain link, so my predilection would be to replace it with a 6' wood fence, but that would probably be about $500, plus the cost of removing and junking the chain link (though it looks in good shape - maybe someone would take it). I think the previous owner put the other panel in for privacy from the other house back there, but was too lazy to remove the chain link fence in front: you could cut right up to the tree and have the wood fence stop on either side. If, for privacy, you put up a trellis instead of fence, you'd still get some light coming through--you've already got a lot of shade back there. if B has a good table saw you can cut slats out of your boards to staple together a trellis. A pergola (especially with something climbing over it) would give you better privacy from above. I have a feeling that if you're mainly trying to use reclaimed lumber then what you make depends on the materials you already have. some of the pressure treated lumber could be used to edge the side yard bed.
