A MAN has revealed how he gave his garden a total transformation using buys from B&M.
Hari, a DIY fan from Shropshire, UK, created his very own ‘luxury faux living wall’.
To go behind his Lay-Z Spa hot tub, the homeowner used artificial faux leaf screening, for £40 a pack from B&M, to decorate his hot tub area.
He confirmed that you get two in a pack, and he used eight packs in total, costing him £320.
Hari shared that the first job was to unpack the artificial greenery and then then attach it all together.
He then stapled the faux strips to a black wall, which was covered in a weed membrane which he also purchased from B&M.
The DIY enthusiast shared: “So I did this in strips of three, and then the halves on the bottom I did later on.
“It was really easy to pop up – we just stapled up in each corner and then into the middle.”
Once each strip was stapled down, he then measured out the middle section that was missing and used a pair of scissors to cut down the artificial squares.
He confessed: “It was so easy to cut, I couldn’t believe it.”
When Hari had finished stapling everything to the wall, he then proudly showed off the final results, as he beamed: “They have really given the space some character and look amazing.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @all_things_hari, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up a whopping 216,100 views.
But social media users were left totally divided by Hari’s artificial summer wall.
Whilst some thought it looked ‘brilliant’ and couldn’t believe the buys were from B&M, others weren’t so convinced.
That looks absolutely brilliant!

A third commented: “Great job, looks amazing!”
Whilst someone else beamed: “That looks absolutely brilliant!!”
Meanwhile, someone else questioned: “WOW! That’s from B&M?”
A plastic tragedy, and an expensive one at that

However, not everyone was as complimentary, and whilst many weren’t impressed by the appearance of the stylish wall, many were also stunned by the price of the artificial greenery.
One user snapped: “A plastic tragedy, and an expensive one at that. Landfill in two to three years.
“Should not be allowed to call it a “living wall”.”
A second wrote: “Not at all for me. Cant beat real plants and climbers.”
Whilst another user chimed in: “The spiders will love this.”
Meanwhile, a fourth explained: “No thank you, I’ll make that myself for cheaper.”
