Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

    I was going to suggest the aluminum inserts that you string through the chain link fence. My ...»
    mother used them at my childhood home. There is also faux greenery that can be tied to the fence but I do not know if it would stay up any better than the tarp. You may also wish to consider placement of fence panels which can be made from scrap metal, old windows, painted or decaled inexpensive wood picture frames placed within a frame made by using fence posts. You would not have to have the panels touch to provide the privacy and could plant ornamental grasses between the panels. Zebra grass grows tall and quick.

Granite Fire Pit

GREENSTONE recently started manufacturing granite fire pits. These fire pits are made from recycled granite and each one represents over 1,000 lbs of granite countertop scraps that was diverted from the landfill!

Gardenia or Camellia
