INSTALL A GARDEN WINDOW MIRROR | Stunning Instant Effect!

How to install a stunning garden mirror. A mirror in the garden gives instant impact, as well as adding an interesting feature it also adds depth and makes a space feel bigger. You feel the space is doubled as are the number of plants. Also, you get to see things from a different angel, like the tree fern frond or the gothic garden ornaments. The link the the mirror on etsy is below. If there is a discount code it will be next to the link.

Here's a brief step by step guide:
1. Decide location.
2. Use a baton to measure precisely the gap between the hanging fixtures.
3. use the baton as a guide and mark the wall.
4. Drill holes into the brick, starting with a smaller bit for precision then go to a bigger bit.
5. Insert the appropriate rawl plug into the hole.
6. Insert the screw and tighten but allow to protrude.
7. Carefully hang the mirror on the protruding screw heads.

I attached a baton below as a double safety feature using the same technique, hole, rawl plug, pilot hole through baton, slightly longer screw, affix to wall. It's the ultimate gardening hack.

I think it looks fabulous Mark, really creates an interesting feature. I have two myself, one is a window and the other is a garden illusion gate. I have never had a problem with birds flying into mine so I don’t think that’s going to be a problem for you. Have a happy Sunday 😊

That looks just great! Will have to look those up

Looks beautiful! Try using painters tape to hang this type of screws. Tape a long horizontal piece on top, covering the screw holes. Mark the holes. Peel off the tape, apply on wall, place nails into the marked points, peel off the tape around the nail. Then hang the mirror.

Mirrors inside homes not outside!! BIRDS DONT LIKE EM, you'll find that out soon enough my friend. Rest of your projects spot on mate.

Hi Mark, thanks for your fantastic content. Be careful with the mirror, I tried it but found that birds were so pre-occupied with their reflection in the early breeding season I had to remove it. Hopefully yours will be less of an issue, it looks great.

Mark I am a big fan of your videos but mirrors and birds in a garden don’t mix .

I took my mirror down after it killed a young Robin that flew into it. Probably not a great idea for wildlife 😢

Hey Mark, greetings from NZ….love your garden and videos but Mark mirrors in the garden look tacky! Sorry man, doesn’t even suit an older property like yours..
