Hi All!
On my East facing wall is a very prominent and ugly exhaust vent from
the CH boiler that i'd love to hide.

My thought was to build a trellis-based structure around it (the timber
would probably be 18-24" away from the vent) and grow a climber/wall
shrub up it.

But which plant could stand the extremes of normal daytime
temperatures, hot exhausts during colder evenings as the CH kicks in,
followed by sudden drop in temperature as the heating goes off for the
night, before kicking in again around 6am? (Oh and it needs to be
evergreen or dense enough to perform the disguising job!. . .)

Any thoughts (lateral or otherwise) much appreciated.

regards
David


I can't think of any plants that would like the conditions you describe.
How about some 'dense' trellis made from steel, wicker, reed, woven stuff.......
Or A mural type thing painted onto a box around the offending item?
