Backyard renovation with new fence and deck

diy_hausdesigns

The project was to redesign a modern backyard maximising the open space and creating a space for entertaining. 

Steps

Step 1

Fence replacement & Hedge planting 

We removed the old pavers (dirt section), cleaned the whole are and had the old timber fence replaced with a new fence.

We also planted some Silver Sheen hedging plants and the Magnolia Teddy Bear tree early on.

Step 2

Fibre cement & Weatherboard panels

We then added some structural timber to the fence to be able to fix some fibre cement sheets and weather board sheets.

Step 3

Fence rendering and painting 

We then applied some textured render paint to give the flat sheets some texture and painted the bottom section in ironbark to avoid dirt showing.

Step 4

Turf laying 

We then took out the old lawn and weeds and layed down some Sir Walter Buffalo turf. It took a while to settle in but eventually got there.

Step 5

Wall, window frame, gutter, fascia and eaves painting

We finally painted the red walls and the green window frames using a spray gun and spray cans.

Step 6

Deck construction 

We then built the deck.
