• @hugo7 Ah i didnt realise it changes colour like that. I also just found out, as it rains you get run off from the coating too which wouldnt be so good for the garden i feel.

    After doing some more research I found this stuff

    https://www.steelroofsheets.co.uk/products/corten-effect-corrugated-sheets/

    Which is a poweder coated effect on galvanized steel, which means its stable in its colour and finish for 25 years. Also works out a bit cheaper than actual Cortan too... that being said it would still cost £1500 for us to do one side of the garden.

    Yeah... I mean you can see why the concrete post + boards is so popular. Once you're looking at those numbers you can't help but think brick (which is really the best solution) is worth looking into.

    Our neighbours have good quality feather edged boards and I've never seen or smelt them through it

  • Id love brick, but I have a feeling a 6m long and 2m heigh wall in yellow london brick (to match the house) is going to cost a lot more than 1500!

    Im sorry to say i really do not like the look of those vertical ship lap / feather edge boards at all - hence me looking into alternatives.
