morning all we have brown colorfence (metal fencing) and are currently having the garden landscaped. We’d like to create instant impact using outdoor canvas art. Has anyone used it and do you have any advice and pictures. Many thanks Angie.

    I had a friend who made her own from cloth shower curtains and 2x2s.  She bought one shower curtain with large parrots pictured, and made her own canvas frame from the 2x2s to stretch it around like a proper canvas.  It held up really well here.. and I expect it could make it fine in the UK too.  The shower curtain is water resistant.. but I would expect it to grow some mold/moss eventually.  You could give it a scrub every fall, and it will probably last you a couple of years.

    Thank you blue onion what a quirky idea ! I like to think gardening can be fun without sweat and tears trying to grow your onions :)

    No it isn't ... there are two threads with similar but not the same headings, both started by Angela at about the same time. 

    It's why it seemed like spamming.

    Ah, they are the same conversation, I didn't realise two threads.

    Yes, a bit confusing  :)
