  • I don't know how you get colour into the garden in Canada with the climate you have, it's bit grey on grey currently, any shrubs you can buy, like perennials? I was thinking camelias, a splash of colour in spring, or something similar too.

    • I imagine the plants will be the last things added.

      • sure, they can help a lot with privacy, those lots are close. Were there any restrictions or covenants on fencing and the like?

        • Yeah. Maximum 6 feet, had to keep the chainlink at the back, needed to be one of three pre-defined styles. Needs to be pressure treated, cedar, or chainlink.

          • I'm sure you know people use shrubs and hedges to mitigate those restrictions, chainlink is particularly ugly imo.

            • Aren't the wooden fence post going to rot fairly quickly? I don't like the idea of an wooden fence.

                • And the treatment. I'd agree that concrete would be a better idea though.

                  Chain link is easy to get plants into, like ivies and other such climbing/creeping vines, although for best/quickest results you need to actively 'thread' it through the links as it grows. Don't know with the climate there if it's feasible (and how much work you're willing to put into it).

                    It's pressure-treated wood. Lifespan is usually 20+ years.

                    I don't think I've ever seen a residential concrete fence here. 95% of the time it's pressure-treated wood, the other 5% it's chainlink.

                    Most peoples' decks are also pressure-treated wood or cedar. Mine isn't - it's a Duradeck (aluminum & vinyl) which last pretty much forever. My parents have had theirs for 30 years without doing any maintenance.

                    • I know it really doesn't matter to me, but I am truly anxious to see the finished product.

                      Thanks Asher.

                              • yours, and I think you may regret those stones or pebbles, I have them at one of my properties and they constantly get underfoot on pathways, quite untidy and sometimes painful, never again for me
