A garden privacy screen can make a real focal point, as well as shield your outside space from any overlooking properties. A wood pallet wall will add plenty of character and structure for foliage to climb up. Why not make your screen work even harder by using scraps of wood to construct simple tiered flower boxes on the pallet?

Sand down the wood and paint. Once dry, screw post anchors to the base of your pallet walls to ensure they remain firmly in the ground. Then, line the new pockets with pond liner and gravel for drainage. Next add potting soil and your chosen flowers, succulents or herbs. For more privacy, make several screens and screw them together.
