Oh come on people, look at Angela's profile and previous posts. She's a new member to the forum looking for advice, not some manic spammer from China trying to sell us sports shoes.
She's simply put on some pics of what she was thinking of using in the garden, and asked for help and advice. Now she's getting slated for it 😞.
I've lost count of the number of times folk have posted direct links to Taylor's clematis, nobody complains about that.
I agree with Kitty - I don't think this is a spam / advert posting.
I'm also not clear whether the idea is that the canvas covers the whole fence or it's effectively like hanging smaller pictures on the fence. I think the first of those would not look good. The second option would not be to my taste but may brighten the fence a bit.
OH is a pretty good photographer these days (but don't tell him ...) and we've had some of his pictures enlarged and mounted on aluminium to use in the kitchen and bathroom. One of them is a large splashback behind the hob.
Because they are bonded onto the aluminium they are waterproof (so are steam resistant and washable) and they can be mounted outside.
It wouldn't be my sort of thing - but maybe a few enlarged (perhaps life sized) pictures of individual plants could be placed on the fence? Or more abstract images?
The pictures we have are very easily mounted on just a couple of screws and they can be changed very, very quickly and easily. You could have winter flowers in winter, spring ones in spring etc. Or perhaps more abstract images using spring colours / autumn hues etc as appropriate.
I don't think you will ever achieve a trompe l'oeil - amazing garden - effect if that is what you were thinking of.

I don't think it's an ad but I don't think it's gardening either. Since I like plants and wildlife I can't give any helpful advice about canvas plant pictures or artificial grass except to say it will be very dull and boring and unchanging and still need maintenance.
Not cheap either.

I checked Angela's previous posts as my first thought on seeing the thread title was "Weekend, here we go again". Angela, please don't be put off, l think the response so far will tell you that no-one here has had experience of these. I take it from the pictures you have posted that you are going to have real plants in front of the wallart, but l wonder if it would look a bit weird in the middle of December looking at at a Summery scene ?
If anybody who has already flagged Angela's post as Spam wants to change their mind I think if they go to the flag and click it again it will 'unflag' it (does that make sense?????)
Hope you don't mind Kitty - I just tried it on your posting. Marked it as spam. Then went in again and marked it a second time as spam - which neutralised the original flag.
If (a new) anybody else marks Angela's post as spam it will be removed until Monday. I don't think that's fair. This (excellent) new system of flagging should be saved for blatant advertising and offensive posts.

It probably isn’t an add as the company is in Holland and I think the poster is Uk. we line our graves with that ‘grass’ I wonder what will happen when the dogs use it as a loo, there’s plastic underneath.

Sorry, none if it is my cup of tea.
