• So our garden is pretty small ("lawn" is 4m square for reference) but being south facing and end of terrace it gets a lot of sun and has very little shade for a lot of the day.

    Any suggestions for anything that can provide a bit of shade but doesn't take up a load of space when not in use (e.g. I was looking at parasols but they have massive bases from what I can find). Wouldn't mind something semi-permanent, attached to a wall or something, if needs be.

    Any bright ideas?

  • I’d sink a couple of poles in corners and rig shade from them (also, washing line). Those trees would not be my first choice for a small space—nothing else will live, and they will want to grow to 30m+—will solve your shade issue in a few years if not vigilantly trimmed though
