DIY Projects to Upgrade Your Garden

Easy DIY projects to upgrade your garden

Make the most of your garden with these easy weekend DIY projects.

Now is the perfect time to get back in the garden and give some TLC.

We have put together this list of easy DIY projects that can be completed over a weekend.

Fairy lights

Whether you decide to use them to line your fence, wrap them around a tree or drape them from your pergola, fairy lights always create a magical atmosphere.

We recommend solar powered ones so that you don’t have to worry about having an outside power outlet, plus it saves on electricity – it’s a win-win.

Pallet sofa

If your old patio furniture is looking a bit outdated but you can’t afford to buy a shiny new set, then an upcycled sofa made from wooden pallets could be a nice alternative. Guaranteed to make you want to sit out in the garden at the slightest hint of sunshine.

You can make it fit any space and customise it to your heart’s content – a perfect weekend project.

Add a fire pit

For those warm summer days and cool evenings, a fire pit is just the ticket for toasting marshmallows and sharing memories with those closest to you.

This is such an easy project which can be completed in an afternoon and the end result looks amazing.

Painted fence

Inject some colour into your garden by giving your garden fence a makeover. You’ll be amazed by what a good clean and a lick of paint can achieve.

Remember... As most boundary fences are shared, make sure you check your deeds and speak to your neighbour first before painting. Alternatively, if you are renting your property, consult your letting agency as not to affect your tenancy agreement. It’s best to get this in writing to prevent any disputes that could arise.
