Recent build in lifestyle village. Large carport, small backyard. Open area with no defined spaces, colour variation or privacy. Plain colourbond fences, no shade and little protection from wind and sun. No sitting area. Pretty stark and drab but what a difference a handy hubby and bunnings can do. Very happy with the result.
Materials
Timber ‘Merbau’ alternate panels, screen panelling from Bunnings Geraldton attached to timber posts mounted inside colour bond fence and onto painted steel gate used to screen carport.
Pergola posts and timber roof slats - pine. Painted in Dulux weather shield
Merbau side gate and fittings for side gate.
LED low voltage lights
