CLEVER GARDEN SCREENING

ALAN TITCHMARSH’S GUIDE TO THE PERFECT TRELLIS WITH PROTEK ‘PALE SAGE’

In his latest episode of Gardening wit Alan Titchmarsh, Alan takes on a classic garden feature - the trellis - and demonstrates how to elevate it from a simple support structure into a stunning focal point using Protek Wood Stain & Protect in Pale Sage.

Why Colour and Quality Matter 

A trellis is more than just a framework for climbing plants; it is a year-round design element in the garden. When climbers lose their leaves in the winter, it is the trellis that keeps a garden looking structured and beautiful. That is why choosing the right colour and coating is so vital. 

Cheap, low-quality treatments often flake, peel, and fade within months, leaving your timber vulnerable to the elements and ruining the aesthetic of your hard work. Protek’s multi-purpose Wood Stain & Protect offers a robust, weatherproof barrier that deeply penetrates the wood. It provides a long-lasting, water-resistant finish that guards against the unpredictable British weather, ensuring your timber stays healthy and beautiful for seasons to come. 

Alan’s Choice: The Elegance of Pale Sage 

Alan highlights exactly why Pale Sage is the ultimate choice for garden timber. This delicate, soft green shade sits perfectly with planting and strikes the perfect balance between nature and design. Alan loves how it seamlessly complements the natural foliage of climbing plants rather than competing with them. It gives the trellis a sophisticated, timeless look that instantly brightens up brick walls, fences, and darker corners of the garden. 

Alan praises the smooth application and impressive coverage of Protek.  The formula is water-based and low-VOC, it is incredibly easy to brush into the intricate gaps of a trellis lattice. Even better, it dries quickly and is completely safe to use around your beloved garden plants, pets, and local wildlife once dry. 

Get the Look in Your Garden 

Whether you are training climbing roses, clematis, or ivy, give them the backdrop they deserve. Follow Alan’s expert recommendation and experience the difference that professional-grade timber protection can make. 

Exceptional Quality: High-build formulation that moves with the timber to prevent cracking. 

Eco-Friendly & Safe: Low-VOC and completely safe for plants, pets, and wildlife once dry. 

Alan's Approved Shade: Achieve a designer garden look with a soft, natural aesthetic.

Small space revamp

Patio transformation

Alan has transformed a forgotten patio from a disused space into a dream garden room using containers finished with Protek Royal Exterior in Warm Clay and filled with colourful planting to complement this versatile and warm neutral colour.

Small gardens and outdoor spaces are a hot topic, and Alan shows how a compact patio can become a multi-functional garden room using clever container planting. The cottage charm remains, but the space gets a thoughtful refresh: improved beds at
the back, a reshaped seating area with a functional table and chairs brought to life and protected for the future with Protek Royal Exterior in Evergreen, and a more appealing view around the pond.

The power of colour and paint

Bring your garden to life

Considered colour is the ultimate shortcut to transforming any outdoor space. In the latest episode, Alan Titchmarsh, shares his expert secrets on using Protek to create structure, mood, and visual magic in your garden.

From dramatic boundary shifts to clever container plant pairing, he shows how you can use the Protek Royal Exterior range to elevate your outdoor space. Alan explains how coloured paint can improve the overall look of a garden when applied to large and small features and gives examples of exactly how it works with different types of
planting.

If you have a small garden, courtyard, or balcony, Alan suggests focusing on your pots. Painting your containers allows you to control the colour palette, trick the eye into seeing more space, and create perfect harmony with your plants.
