Default OIl tank - OT, but it's a garden feature

Where I live everyone that has replaced their oil tank has chosen a
plastic one to replace it. They seem to be well pleased with them. I
don't much like their shape but sooner or later my steel tank will
require replacement.

What do people reckon are the best ways to disguise one of these ugly
brutes? Hammerite deep green heavy metallic makes my steel one look
almost OK against vegetation. The flat top collects water though..



Dunno about oil tanks, but willow hurdles make a good screen for a propane
tank. You need to leave access to the top, of course, but screening the
sides helps.
