Hello everyone,
I would like to cover or enhance the wall in my garden in some way.
I was thinking about using wall cladding panels, which are available for both interior and exterior use. For the top of the wall, I would need to find a suitable coping slab.
Has anyone done something like this before? It should work similarly on a wall as it does on an interior wall, right?

Do you have any examples regarding wood? The wall cladding I found costs around 30-40 € per square meter (approximately 3-4 USD per square foot), plus of course adhesive. I think the price is actually reasonable. Quickly, I only found wooden panels that are not really cheaper in terms of price.
Regarding moss and dirt, you just have to clean the wall regularly with a pressure washer. I suppose the wood also needs to be painted occasionally, right?

For example, you could attach battens to the existing wall and then screw narrow boards to them (I once did something similar with roofing battens). It looks like rhombus cladding, and you can install it either vertically or horizontally—painted gray or left untreated to weather naturally, as is common with wooden façades on houses.
For cost reasons and because I think it can look good, I would use rough-sawn timber. Since the length is about 12m (39 feet), I might divide it up using 3 or 4 tall, rectangular planters, which you could also make from wood—or there are attractive options available in natural stone or concrete look.
I had the same issue with a pressure washer: the soil would always wash back against the wall, making the area look messy again, even after rain. You’d need a small gravel strip or something similar to prevent that.
As I said, this is just an idea—you’d have to like it first. I wanted to do it myself because it’s quite simple, I enjoy working with wood and the look appeals to me. It’s also easy to repair at any time and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on it.
To me, a continuous wall made of those stones would feel too heavy; as I mentioned, I would break it up visually with wood in some way.

Hello everyone,
my wife really likes the idea of wooden cladding, and I don’t think it’s bad either. I was thinking of something like the slats shown in the attachment. Then, as you already mentioned, to interrupt them every 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) so it doesn’t look too solid. I’m just wondering how to make that interruption. A planter in front would probably look good, but I’d prefer to keep the area in front just grass. Do you have any ideas on how I could create this break? What are some good, affordable alternatives? Or maybe the rhombus profile boards could be continued along and small flower pots hung every 3 meters (10 feet) with some flowers? How would you do the wall capping on top? Also clad in wood? A simple stone slab or something like that? Anyone has an idea?
