      I second that!!!
      never thought a blackfence would look THAT good :dbgrtmb:
      But not just the fence is lovely but also all the enclosed garden is a treasure.
      like it like it like it :cool:

          Fantastic garden al, love the back corner with all the dense tropical planting, brilliant :dbgrtmb:

          Is that a small seating/shelter area for the little ones I see too?? :biggrin:

          I've always painted my fences dark colours too, either very dark brown or green, to me they're a boundary and shouldn't be a feature and should fade in to the background as a backdrop to the plants in front.
          I hate these bright red/orange cedar coloured fences that you see.....:runforhills::lunapic 130165696578242 5:
