smart screening

For perimeters and internal screens, opt for timber trelliswork that allows sun to filter through, augmenting the dappled light produced by trees. It also provides a scaffold for climbing plants, such as star jasmine or clematis, to scramble up and soften the hard lines of the garden’s boundaries. The horizontal slats of this bespoke trellis (for a similar design, try The Garden Trellis Co, gardentrellis.co.uk) contrast with the vertical tree trunks, too, creating an exciting visual effect.
