Hello @Renovater120 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your back deck renovation.

The new merbau panels look great, and the repainting of the exterior walls along with the French doors have really given the area a fresh new look. The addition of the Tuscan stones and installation of the festoon lights finish off the look. A beautiful restoration of a relaxing back deck.
