YOUR ZEN DEN

Your backyard may already be defined by its boundary fences and building walls, but don’t stop there! You can go further with a defined area for clothes drying, another area for play or outdoor tasks and a third one where you can take yourself away from the world. Determining these areas need not involve building barriers. Keep your garden open with a stylish arbour that clearly marks out where work, play and rest happen!

EASY STEPS TO ZONE YOUR GARDEN

A fenced yard is an inviting blank canvas. Fill it with flowing garden beds to zone rooms and find a new spot for your washing.

STEP 1 Dig out and remove old features such as a clothesline.

STEP 2 Spray marking paint to define new garden boundary curves to suit your design.

 STEP 3 Hire a turf cutter to remove turf where wider, curved garden beds will be. STEP 4 Pressure wash fence to remove algae and dirt.

 STEP 5 Use a roller to apply 2 coats exterior paint in your chosen colour to the fence. Allow to dry after each coat.
