Like many Londoners I lived in a flat that was overlooked by over ten separate sets of neighbours.

In 2015 I was thrilled to be granted planning permission, with our neighbour, to extend both our properties (by a minute amount!) but quickly realised there was a problem. The council had stipulated certain elements that meant we both had far less privacy from each other than before.

I immediately started to look for stylish and affordable garden screening ideas but came up with nothing. The best I could hope for were expensive wood options which would quickly age, warp and tire in the UK weather conditions. Frustrated, I decided to design my own. I decided to produce modern privacy screening that reflected interior design trends, but for my garden.

I researched every material possible and quickly fell in love with wood composite. It had the look and feel of a wood product, but the durability of plastic. It performed amazingly in the UK weather conditions. I tested our initial product by leaving it outside all winter and could not notice any change after 6 months.

Quickly neighbours and friends started to request similar privacy screens for their own gardens. Either for use as privacy screens, outside feature walls, garden art or trellises.
