Hi guys

Moving into a new house and thinking up ideas for the garden lol.. It is a rectangular shaped garden, big in size enclosed with a high wall - 8 blocks and the high wall is facing our back windows. It looks very obvious at the minute and would like to camouflage it somehow.

I put an ad in wanted for some trellis.
I was thinking of putting up trellis and having some climbing plants. Is that a good idea? I think i will stay clear of ivy because parents planted that at home and it seemed to take over!! I would like something that is colourful but something that will not be very bare in the winter.

Also any ideas for covering up an oil tank? Without being a fire hazard! Was thinking of planting some trees around the tank but at the same time I want it to be accessable down the line when the trees might be huge so not sure if thats good idea! Anyone plant hedging around their tank?

Any ideas welcome :)
