Very often the designer of a small garden is faced by the difficulty of giving it privacy, and shrinks from"the unmterestmg solution of building a plain high wall. In such a case the two schemes mdicated m Figs. 138 and 139 suggest happy alternatives, the former of which appears in a modified form m the picture (Fig. 68) of Mr. Inigo Triggs' own garden at Liphook. It shows a stone wall eighteen inches tliick, and it is desirable, where choice is possible, to build it of sandstone in order that it may weather to a pleasant colour. This type of garden masonry looks best when the joints are well raked out, so that each individual stone may show distinctly. The piers are spaced ten feet apart, and are connected by curves. Rough beams about four inches square, with cross-pieces about two inches square, are supported on the piers, and roses and other creeping plants are trained to intertwine amid the woodwork. In Fig. 139 a similar arrangement is shown for brick ^ ~^i: <^\ t -â¬. &â , V â Ca.''*^'^-*-.
