D.I.Y. artificial plant wall
We just built an amazing decked alfresco area and the boring brick wall was screaming "help me".
I have a creative spark and thought it could be a fun couple DIY project to do with my Fiancee.
We had a old temp fence sitting in the backyard, along with some Un-REAL artificial tiles and a packet of cable ties. This is all we needed to create the masterpiece!
1. Cut the temp fence or mesh into your desired size. We went for a 1.5m x 1.5m round circle.
2. Lay out the UN-REAL screening ontop making sure the whole area is coverered. This particular mesh panels click together, this is shown in one of the photos.
3. Flip the temp fence or mesh over and using cable ties attach it to the mesh panel
4. Flip it back over and cut the screening to suit the shape
5. Hang in your desired area
Our plain, boring brick wall. BEFORE
Attaching to the mesh

Re: D.I.Y. artificial plant wall
Hi there. How do these artificial green walls fair in terms of greenery falling off, exposing the mesh? And on an outdoor wall?

Re: D.I.Y. artificial plant wall
Thanks @MitchellMc for the tag!
@Renz to be totally honest, none have fallen off. All the individual pieces of greenery are secured quite well, they clip in, and as this is out of the weather under our alfresco area its looks the same as the day we installed it.
