Depending on what material your deck is constructed from, you could have this year’s hottest accessory (pun intended), a fire pit! Imagine being able to sit under the stars and chat long into the night because you’ve got a fire pit keeping you warm. Caution: give this a miss if you have a wooden deck!

When you’re ready to start your vertical garden DIY project, follow these 5 easy steps:

How about this quirky idea for a vertical garden? A vertical ladder planter! If you have an old wooden ladder lying around give it a new lease of life by transforming it into a vertical planter.

All you need to do is sand the timber and add a bright coat of paint or a classic timber stain. If you want you can make shelves by adding plywood (or thicker timber planks if you’ll need sturdier shelves) across the steps. We recommend nailing these in place to prevent your shelves from blowing away during the winter.

Once your decorative ladder planter is ready to go, add bright potted plants on the shelves or use the higher shelves as a ledge for hanging plants.
