How to Transform Your Braai Area for Heritage Day with Easy Ivy Artificial Foliage

Heritage Day is more than just a public holiday in South Africa—it’s a celebration of our roots, our stories, and of course, our shared love for the braai. Whether you’re hosting friends, family, or the whole neighbourhood, your braai area is the heart of the celebration. Why not give it a stylish, low-maintenance makeover with Easy Ivy artificial foliage?

Why Artificial Foliage?

Not everyone has the time (or green thumb) to grow a lush garden wall or maintain natural greenery around their entertainment spaces. That’s where Easy Ivy comes in. Designed to mimic the look of real ivy, it’s UV-protected, weather-resistant, and requires zero watering. It’s the perfect way to bring a fresh, vibrant feel to your braai area—instantly

5 Ways to Use Easy Ivy in Your Braai Area

  1. Create a Green Feature Wall

    Transform a plain wall or unsightly fence into a beautiful vertical garden. Installing Easy Ivy panels is quick and easy—no digging or planting involved. Add a few fairy lights or lanterns, and you’ve got a cozy backdrop for those Heritage Day selfies.

  2. Cover That Old Wall or Fence

    Every backyard has a “problem area”—peeling paint, stained walls, or wire fencing that ruins the vibe. Easy Ivy can disguise it all, giving your braai area a uniform, polished look that feels both natural and stylish.

  3. Define the Space

    Use Easy Ivy panels on trellises or standalone frames to create a sense of enclosure or to separate your braai area from the rest of the garden. This works especially well in open yards or shared spaces.

  4. Shade with Style

    Mount Easy Ivy above your pergola or on a custom frame to add a bit of shade and charm. It helps cut the glare from the sun while adding that lush, green ambiance every braai master deserves.

  5. Accent Your Outdoor Furniture

    Wrap Easy Ivy around railings, bar areas, or outdoor furniture bases to carry the greenery throughout your setup. It’s an easy touch that makes a big difference in overall aesthetic.

A Touch of Green for Every Heritage

Heritage Day is about embracing what makes us unique—and what brings us together. In a country as diverse and vibrant as South Africa, our outdoor spaces often reflect our cultures, traditions, and ways of life.
