    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.

    Local diy stores.

    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 🤷‍♀️
