Our favourite garden ideas for summer
Rose and climbing plants trellis
A rose trellis is a stellar way to encourage healthy, well-supported growth for climbing plants and roses. Whilst they can be purchased in wood or plastic, a rose trellis made from natural rope can provide a flexible and softer, rustic aesthetic for avid gardeners, as well as a fun DIY project.
Making a rose trellis can give structural support to your plants while saving space. Opt for a grid or ladder-style design created from a number of ropes.
Choose synthetic hemp or polyhemp rope, which are synthetic and look like natural-fibre ropes. They last well outside and are soft to work with.
For a natural rope, Manila is strong and durable, while jute offers a softer appearance and a synthetic core for extra strength.
Hanging Baskets
If you’re looking for an easy way to enhance your garden but don’t want to compromise on space, a hanging basket for plant pots is an excellent way to add life to your outdoor area.
Jute rope is ideal for this, thanks to the fact that it’s easy-to-handle and extremely knot-friendly. Additionally, its UV resistance and synthetic core mean that it's designed with longevity in mind, lasting longer outdoors.
Garden furniture accents
If you’re tired of your old garden furniture or want to revive it, incorporating garden rope is an excellent way to add texture and character to your space.
Adding garden rope details by wrapping it around chairs, railings, or table legs is an easy way to boost texture and design appeal this summer.
Flax hemp rope looks and feels the part, as it is made from 100% natural fibres in a traditional construction.
Garden borders
For ultimate ease, create garden borders around flower beds, lawns, decking, patios, or garden paths for an easy yet effective way to define your spaces. Incorporate both function and aesthetic improvements. What’s more, this technique is versatile enough for a variety of styles – including contemporary, coastal, and cottage gardens.
Manila rope is superlative for this use. It’s both strong and durable with weather-resistant properties – making it ideal for outdoor conditions. It's also a quick and easy DIY project, as Manila rope can be threaded through hooks.
Garden lighting features
Lighting features can massively transform your garden’s atmosphere during summer evenings. Simply wrapping fairy lights around your garden rope decorations can elevate the ambience of your space. For an extra touch, you can even combine your lighting features with your newly added garden borders for easy elevation.
We have a huge range of ropes suitable for use within your garden lighting features, depending on the desired application. The most important things to consider for outdoor use are that your rope is weatherproof, ensuring resistance against UV rays and moisture.
