    This is a moneysaving site.

    Do any of your friends or family have some (real) ivy they want to remove or cut down? Ivy grows almost anywhere and it grows like crazy.

    I see those fake ivy panels in Aldi/Lidl quite regularly. 
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.

    Local diy stores.
    The Factory Shop.
    But they do fade eventually.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well


  • That Mrs Luther for you.
    As for mounting t'ivy, you need to construct a frame - vertical posts bolted/tie-wrapped/whatevs to the concrete stubs, with horizontal rails ('arris') top and bottom. The ivy will be tied/stapled to this.
    Just how high do you need to go? 
    Ive just hooked it over now to get a rough idea

     

    Would you be able to tell me where you got this fake ivy from?
    Luckily I don't have problems with my neighbors, but it looks amazing on the picture and I would like to hang some on my wooden fence too. I guess this is an artificial privacy ivy roll but can you also order it in combination with trellis? Does the company selling them offers to assemble it?

    Plot twist: I came on this forum to find money saving advice, but requested product info with my first post to spend my $$
    Hi sorry not been on for a while yes i got it from this websiite

    The fake ivy I put up has been a godsend for privacy it did annoy my neighbour and she snapped at me but she seems to be over it now lol 


  • Looks good, and if it's still up after Tuesday's wind, then it's attached well too :smile:

    I’m surprised too as I live on a bend opposite a farm and we get winds that are like bloody hurricanes round here 😂😂😂
  • I recently discovered the charm of incorporating fake ivy into my home decor, and I'm absolutely delighted with the results! The realistic appearance and low-maintenance nature of fake ivy make it a perfect addition to various spaces. It effortlessly adds a touch of greenery and a natural vibe, creating a refreshing atmosphere without the need for constant care. The versatility of fake ivy also allows for creative placements – whether it's draping it along shelves, accentuating a wall, or even using it to enhance outdoor spaces. It's become my go-to solution for bringing the beauty of nature indoors while keeping things hassle-free. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to effortlessly elevate their space with a touch of green!

    That looks lovely looks like mine its so easy to put up too! 

    I’m so glad I put it up as it gives me so much privacy from my neighbour who clearly doesn't like me even though I try to be a good polite quite neighbour and respect her the best I can but she still gives me bad vibes whenever she sees me 🤷‍♀️
