I don't have any pics of mine yet but that link U-bob posted is the same thing. I chose it because they are very salt tolerant and I live right on the ICW.
Another type that grows fast and tall is
Sweet Viburnum
They actually grow even faster. I planted some of these to make some privacy around my patio. They are already over 8' tall and close to 6' thick.
Unfortunately all these require pruning at least once or twice a year if you want the natural look. If you want that boxed look like in that first link u-bob posted, then that requires more frequent pruning with some of those electric hedge clippers.
But i agree with you, most fences look like crap.
