Our apartment has a small garden with a 2ft 6in high picket fence and I’d like to add a single panel to at least double the height giving us a little privacy when DH and I sit and read. There are no restrictions that prevent us doing this but I am finding it impossible to find one that is attractive. Does anyone know of a Company that I can order from please?

I'm a big fan of trellises :
My father made them many years ago and they still look good . I'm going to give them a coat of Cuprinol this summer .
But you can buy them ready made or ask a carpenter to make one for you and attach them to existing fences .
You can grow such a variety of plants up them :
Hydrangea peteolaris
Honeysuckle
Clematis hybrids or better still Clematis .Montana .
Roses .
Jasmines ...
Be careful with ivy -it grows very quickly and becomes too heavy .
