Best and convenient way to raise wall height

Hello,
I have a 4 feet tall concrete wall in my house and for privacy I want to increase height to 6 feet. I have attached pictures. It has finish on top also. Can you tell me a less expensive way to increase this height? Are their 2 feet high extenders I can use? Or a wooden fence in front of it? I can do work myself if you suggest. Please let me know what I can do for this?

Cheapest and easiest way I can think of is to screw treated 2x4’s to the wall and have them extend above block 2’. Install lattice sheets to the 2x4’s. Will need a hammer drill for drilling into the block. Can try tapcom screws for mounting 2x4’s. If they hold they are great, but often don’t hold well in some block. If tapcoms are not working use an anchor designed for hollow block. You can get all the supplies you need from a big box store.
I don't know what kind of tape measure you have, but that wall is 64" tall. Just add another course of 8" screen block and it's done.
