    My patio is quite exposed, but I have not been keen to put up any fixed screening as sometimes we use the whole space. I have been racking my brains to think of something which would do the job but allow flexibility. I thought I would share the idea I have had. I've bought a couple of planters with trellis, and 8 strong wheels. I'm going to attach the wheels, plant up the planters with some climbers, and then I can use them flexibly to provide screening when needed, but when it's windy or I need more space I can move them to the side of the house as required. You can also buy these kinds of planters with wheels already attached, but they are more expensive than the way I have done it. It's hardly rocket science, but I'm quite pleased to have come up with this!

        Hello @Irmemac brilliant idea mate, as my hubby build the same thing the side of our porch when we had settled in but he also added a plain Acrylic Sheet in full length and you can purchase them coloured...great idea concerning the wheels :)
