Here's another interesting idea for a backyard HF antenna.
In this revised video from Allan (VA3BHY), we see how a 71-feet (21.64 meters) long wire antenna can be fitted into a small urban lot.
While some comments suggested a slightly longer wire length to allow for better swr adjustment, Allan's current design works well and provides numerous contacts.

Here are some comments from Allan (VA3BHY):
Hello all, this is the 4th version of my DIY 71 feet random wire antenna with my 9:1 and 1:1 Balun and DIY. The wire I used was #22 AWG speaker wire. This time, I elevated the antenna 16 feet off the ground and added a paracord for easy maintenance in the future.
