My patio prettification....

[clambert1273]

Hahaha no.... sooo if you can see in the new pics.. we have a wall behind our wall now [emoji849][emoji849] That field behind us has been empty for 40 years (per landlord) and last summer they decide to start building houses on it....

Everyone was ticked off because the ground is much higher on that side.. they could stand/walk and just stare over our fence... we threw a fit because I am not comfy having people just able to stare at my kids while swimming lol So they built a fence behind ours [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

So nope never did a mural and now my cousin has moved to TX...

That is a LOT of shopping! Do we need to do an intervention?? I sure hope not as it is too much fun to watch you pretty up your area!

This makes me feel a lot better about my online shopping "problem"
The ups driver told me that he doesn't even look at the address anymore if it's a target box/bag it goes to my house [emoji23]

[clambert1273]

So I need ideas for around the pool equipment area (marked off on my drawing).... if you can tell by the pics most of my area is concrete even around the equipment so I can't put a "fence" up per se, but want something around it that I can move when needed and hide it (can't cover top because of heater).....

So brainstorm with me lol

I do a ton of wordworking as a hobby and built something similar although permanent around our ac units and hung buckets of succulents on it. Mine is stained a warm brown

Mine looks more like this https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/95/69/46/956946247e89b505e8bd9ab61461c6ae.jpg but taller

Yeah the problem with all those is I need it to stand on concrete and not fall over in the winds... Cerritos is like in this basin and we get some wicked winds... not to mention the Santa Ana winds lol

I kind of came up with an idea and will run past hubby which will require me to build a frame with feet on it and thought about wrapping the bamboo fencing stuff around it complete with handles so I could move out of the way when needed for access lol

You could put a piece of wood across the back side to horizontally brace it. Something the slides and locks in to place to easily move.
