Around this time of year, it can be easy to forget about your garden. Here at eDecks<\/a>, we think they need love all year round. So, roll up your sleeves and get those tools out, it’s time for some quick and effective garden DIY!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It can be difficult to find space on small balconies but these shelf planters allow more green in a tight space, making it feel more open. Plants can be especially important in cities where there isn’t as much greenery. Here at eDecks<\/a>, we have a wide range of reject decking<\/a>, so these shelves can be made at a low cost and without any environmental impact. All you need are some wood screws<\/a>, a drill and a saw to cut the pieces to your desired size. This simple DIY will only take a few hours but it will leave you with a beautiful addition to any garden space – big or small!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Floating containers<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

This garden DIY is, again, perfect for gardens of any size and make your fencing kinder to the eye. If you have ever grown strawberries you will know how they love to grow as far as they can and take over shared planters but with these small containers, they will stay a manageable size. Similarly, with the shelf planters, these boxes can be made from our wide selection of cheap reject wood<\/a> and follow the same instructions: get some screws<\/a>, a drill and a saw to cut the pieces to your desired size – and if you don’t want to use screws, waterproof glue<\/a> works just as well! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Decorative gravel area<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Creating a zen area is important for gardens of any space, and it may not even require any building! At eDecks<\/a>, we have a wide range of gravel and aggregates<\/a> of many colours and textures. All you need for this simple DIY is two different colour gravels, some low maintenance plants and, optionally, some hardwood decking<\/a> or fencing<\/a> to bring the area together. Everyone’s idea of zen is completely different, so if minimalist isn’t your idea of perfect – don’t worry, our next DIY will be right up your street!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Raised planter beds can be expensive, so making them yourself seems like the smartest option. We carry a range of discount sleepers<\/a>, that are easy to cut and nail together and have a beautiful rustic look that looks fantastic in any garden, but this oak can be painted<\/a> any colour! We recommend special sleeper nails<\/a> for this wood since it is so thick, but the results will be worth it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

DIY jobs can seem intimidating but they are worth having a go! And with such low prices here at eDecks, the costs just make sense, creating things for yourself is much more rewarding.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
