    We've an ugly oil burner outside in a very prominent position in the garden. It needs to be hidden somehow and the cost of moving it to a less conspicuous location is out of the question but it needs to still have accessibility for servicing. All/any suggestions welcome!!!

    Trellis and some planting , Climbers best trick.

    or


    Subtle Painting.

    Trick is to try and blend into the garden rather than overpower it.

    I get what you are saying about trying to make it blend alright. It's proving to be a bit of a sticking point with a house sale so we need to rectify it now but I'm just not willing to spend thousands! Is there a fire risk by having trelis around a boiler?

    Could you put some of those timber fence panels around it? You could hinge them and put a latch on it so the boiler is accessible. I couldn't see it costing over 100 euros if you do it yourself
