A Custom Pop-Out Garden Wall

If your backyard or patio is lacking in privacy, you might want to consider making a cinder block wall. The materials will be cheap, and with just a little mortar and rebar, your cinder blocks will make a sturdy privacy barrier. But, if you want to take that one step further, you can arrange the cinder blocks to stagger pop-out shelves throughout the wall. If you look at the example below, you'll see just how useful this design can be.

These shelves work great to hold plants, but we'd also suggest putting one at right about armchair height, so you can rest your drink on it while relaxing.
