Whether you like to lie back and soak up the sun or enjoy a meal al fresco during the warm summer weather, this decor item may be worth picking up.
Not only will it help add colour to your garden, but it can give you some extra privacy too.
And don’t worry if you’re only renting, because this bargain buy can be easily installed and removed from your outdoor space.
The Wooden Planter with Trellis is priced at just £22.99 and can be picked up in stores now.
The Aldi team say it is “perfect to provide support for climbing plants and add a stunning feature into your garden”.
The planter is 4.5ft tall and comes in two colours, natural wood or grey.
A liner is also included which means it’s easy to start planting the climbing plants which can add to the overall height of the trellis.
At just £22.99 each, buying in bulk could work out much more cost effective than paying for a fence.
The Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK Facebook page, which has 252,000 likes, shared pictures of the new gardening buy and said: “Two Types of stylish Lattice Wooden Planters at ALDI.”
And other shoppers are just as impressed, as one gushed: “I like them.”
A second wrote: “I did see these, very nice.”
“This would be a good idea”, wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “This is quite nice for rose plant.”
Amazon also has a £14 privacy buy that is described as “perfect” for summer.
Another privacy fence is also available from Amazon, for just £5.
B&Q has an affordable privacy fence currently on sale, and you can put it up yourself.
A £10 B&M product adds inches to your fence, elevating your garden’s privacy.
And it’s not just fences that can help give you privacy in your garden, one B&M item can help shield you from nosy neighbours and the sun.
Meanwhile, a Home Bargains buy is said to add a touch of glamour to your garden.
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
- Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
- Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
- Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
- A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
