I turned my plain fence into a glam wall garden thanks to bargains from The Range & Dunelm – people say it’s ‘beautiful’
A WOMAN has shared how she gave her plain fence a mega makeover, just in time for summer.
So if you plan on having guests over for sunny days in your garden, and want to ensure that they leave open-mouthed, then you’ve come to the right place.
And don’t worry, you won’t need to go out and spend a fortune on fancy buys, as this woman has used affordable products from the high street to give her garden a fresh new look.
A DIY fan has explained how she transformed her fence using bargain buys from The Range and Dunelm – and people are stunned.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Heather Wilcox gave social media users a before and after look at her fence.
Beaming at her DIY job, Heather penned: “Had a very productive day making a wall garden!”
Heather used artificial ivy fence roll, as well as faux hanging flowers, to bring her fence to life.
What was once a plain, brown fence, has since been given a total transformation – without breaking the bank.
The savvy woman continued: “Bought the ivy from The Range plus flowers from The Range and Dunelm.
“£24.99 for the ivy, I bought two, then the flowers ranging from £3.60 to £10.
“I cut them up and added them to the ivy – we already had the water feature.”
Clearly thrilled with her DIY job, Heather beamed: “I am very happy with this.”
We think Heather’s wall garden looks fabulous – and is an incredibly affordable way to add colour and style to an outside space this summer.
Social media users were left stunned at Heather’s fence transformation and many took to the comments to express this.
