    hi all, so instead of having a lovely "sun room" and kitchen with heaps of morning sun beaming through from my back yard....I now have a colorbond fence 1.5m from the back windows!

    I'm developing the block so it's for a long term gain, but I'd love to hear some ideas on how I can "dress up" this fence and outdoor area?

    Thanks! IMG_3698.JPG IMG_3702.JPG

    Fix chook wire or sim to it, grow a suitable vine on it.
    I fixed shade cloth to one of mine recently (pics in an older thread), looked better than the fence. Could also bring it across to the eve, enclosing it as a cat run, birds, fern garden etc.

    I agree- plant a vine, or make a vertical garden.

    Ugh colorbond Classic Cream - my least favourite colour.

    I'm trying to find a plumbing company that sells big poly pipes I can cut up to make these

    or pop on some laser cut panels

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Yes Classic cream is not amazing. I'll take on board some of the suggestions and work my magic!
