Question

I need help choosing what colours to paint my fence/shed and decking please - I was thinking maybe grey but didn’t know whether to go for the same colour for both? Everything needs a lick of paint so thought I’d change colour while I did! Also any cheap ideas how to improve the space would be appreciated!  

Answer 1

Is the dog tied to the tree? Garden looks secure?

@midrib9534 its a washing line pole x

@midrib9534 no it isn't. Look properly

---

@midrib9534 look before you jump

---

Zoom in. it's a clothes prop

---

Actually the tree is tied to the garden as it has a habit of leafing

---

@midrib9534 you need to go to spec savers. Its a clothes prob and doesn't even look like its attached to the dog anyway  

---

@midrib9534 it’s a clothes prop as everyone has said, Jacko enjoys pelting round the garden whenever he can so definitely not tied to the tree  

Answer 2

I would split colors depending what colour your house is . maybe panels grey and along the bottom and posts white . or a color matching the trim to your house to tie it in.  

Answer 3

Use a big car sponge to paint with, it takes half the time and half the effort.

Answer 6

Maybe a dark grey for the decking and fence and a different colour for the shed? Some cheap ideas for adding colour and interest: remove a patch of grass and add wild flower seeds. Attach trellis and grow a few climbers - perennials like honeysuckle or clematis or annuals like morning glory. Add some hanging pots to the fence and plant nasturtiums seeds, dig some borders and add perennials whilst they're small - cheaper at the start of the season. Add pots to the decking and grow herbs or flowers.
