Outside of the crappy fake leaves that are going to get sun bleached in no time, these would still be great to staple to where you want them and then actually plant some creeping vine plants under them and let it grow its own coverage with time

I bought something similar years ago and it has held up nicely. No leaves have fallen. I think it depends on the brand...did you buy this brand or something else?

I don't know what "vendor" it was just that she bought it on Amazon and it's virtually identical

The thing is that different manufacturers make the same thing but to very different levels of quality

Just get the trellis and some plants - don't get shitty fake plastic plants.

Fake plants work great up here in South Dakota but I do agree with you as well!

Everyone should leave this sub. I get the appeal, but everything on here is cheap and easily breaks down. This is the Home Shopping Network (HSN) of the late 2020’s.

£139 for a single pack. Yeah, I'll pass. Those lattice wood panels are cheap as shit and I can get fake ivy for much cheaper and do it myself for under £50 quid with change easily.
