Natural camo for shop

[4EyedTurd]

My shop is a nice shade of blue but it’s a blue shop. There is a black chain link fence that runs perpendicular from the shop and divides the backyard. There is some some of grapevine growing along the chain link. I had planned on removing the fence to open up the backyard and had thought of trying to transplant the grapevine to a side fence until someone gave me a better idea. Since the grapevine comes out of the ground at the shop, just build some kind of wall for the greenery to cover that is a foot of so off the side of the shop and maybe the height of the side of the shop. I could probably reuse the chain link fence to build the wall. Besides taking a chance of it growing into the shop and harboring bugs and waiting for it to grow in, anything else to think about?

Would you build the wall the same height of the shop? From the right side of the door to the opposite corner?

Wild grapes are almost invasive. They eventually smother and crush the host plant. Might get more distance or choose a nice wisteria or what ever is the local equivalent.

You can train it up a hinged trellis in case you need to work on the building.

I'd be concerned about vines doing damage to the gutters. What you've got now is growing over a foot higher than the fence that supports it. I'd make the new lattice short enough that the vines won't be able to get close to the gutters on the shop.

I would think the grape vine would provide some shade for the shop but I wouldn't let it touch it.

GRAPES!!!!!!! If they're wild, exterminate with a hostile vengeance. It's a constant battle for me to keep them from killing off all of my pine trees. At least twice a year I have to spend a day to pull them off of my trees.
