A backyard transformation featuring a fire pit, bench seating, crazy paving, green feature wall, and pergola with swing.
The project
Transformed our backyard into a tropical oasis. Included a fire pit area and an open pergola with swing. With round stepping stones leading up to both. Brick edging as done around the fire pit area and a crazy paved pergola area. Also made a fake plant panel feature wall from Bunnings.
Steps
Step 1
Made the seat out of timber framing and blueboard.
Step 2
Rendered and painted bench seat.
Step 3
Added brick edging and wide joint mortar in between. Then added plants behind bench seat and white stones on the ground inside brick edging.
Step 4
Then created the green plant panel wall from Bunnings. And built pergola over the top of an old shed concrete slab. Included a before photo.
Step 5
I got some cheap outdoor tiles and smashed them all up into pieces, and glued them to the slab to create a crazy pave area - then grouted and sealed.
Step 6
Added a bench swing and some pot plants. Then added round stepping stones in two sizes from Bunnings to make a pathway leading up to the area.
