Stylist tip - how to brighten up a backyard with artificial plants
Adding green to a dark corner of any yard can help to brighten up the space and create a new area to enjoy. Homeowners often have unused spaces within a backyard that can prove to be quite inviting when a little greenery and Greenwall are added.
You can add some life to any drab space by adding an artificial plant trellis (as seen here), or by using potted plants or trees to bring brightness and add interest to the area. Artificial plants are an easy way to brighten up any space within a backyard!
Pairing an expanding artificial trellis alongside some chosen potted artificial plants or trees can be an instant way to transform any area with a Colorbond fence.
Benefits of artificial plants
Should the space you are transforming be hard to cultivate and grow real plants normally, artificial is the way to go! Plus, the fun part is… you can add plant varieties that would not normally grow in your local area because when they are artificial, environmental factors do not come into play. Just a wipe or gentle hose when they get dusty, and you have yourself a very minimum-effort garden that can last you years. No green thumb required.
Plant local variety trees that will look like they are meant to be (always lifelike), or create a unique environmental wonder with artificial greenery from virtually any part of our beautiful country. If you love a tropical look, but live in Tasmania (where tropical plants typically don't thrive) artificial plants and greenery are your key to a beautiful tropical-inspired backyard.
Your inspiration is limitless with artificial plants.
Why use an artificial plant trellis on an existing fence
By not replacing your existing fence, you can literally save thousands while updating your backyard. A Colourbond fence has been designed and built to last for years, just because the look isn’t your style, for now, doesn’t mean that replacing it is the right option. However, updating its look of it could be, and it doesn't need to be hard to do. When budget is a consideration, there is no need to replace an existing fence.
An existing Colorbond fence will give you a sturdy base for your artificial trellis, and it can be completely or partially covered depending on your taste. Green walls created using artificial plant trellis can be suited to your own taste and style.
Using an artificial trellis to cover an existing Colorbond fence can be done by fully covering every part of the existing fence (as seen here) with a Greenwall, or by covering one or two panels of your Colorbond fence to create a feature wall or highlighting a special area of your yard - the choice is yours.
How to install an artificial trellis to an existing Colourbond fence
- Measure your chosen area carefully and calculate how much expandable artificial trellis you will need to create your desired look.
- While purchasing your expandable plant trellis, remember that installation will require a few simple tools including a drill, screws, or alternatively cable ties. Add these to your shopping list.
Once you have steps 1 & 2 complete, it is time to install your new artificial green wall.
- Determine the placement of your artificial plant trellis - horizontal or vertical.
- Gather your tools and have them within easy reach. You will need a drill, cable ties or screws.
- Screw your expandable trellis into the desired position using the screws, attaching the screws to the upright and supporting posts of your Colourbond fence to secure. Cable ties may also be used depending on your fence and can make the process even quicker.
