    Righhhhttt... looking for hive mind advice, tips, suggestions.

    My back garden does not get the sun past 5pm, ever, and as a result we tend to move to the tiny front garden for sun downers which although is pleasant is also a bit of a waste of a garden IMO.

    We cant change the orientation of our house, or how the sun moves around the Earth, so have to find a way to work with those factors.

    Thinking trying to go cosy, with some sort of pergola at the back to hang numerous lights off while plants grow up and around (garden has only been non astro turf for about 3 months).

    I'm thinking making a pergola and maybe using the back fence (which is stable and solid) rather than adding yet more posts and gubbins.

    So, specific questions - making a pergola and using the fence posts, daft idea? better solutions?

    Is there a smarter option that I could use to achieve the same goals (cosy night garden).

    Pic of current state, plus slightly goth filthy mock or proposed. Took 5 mins and I dont care about PS anymore, please dont judge.
