Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, @PaulTutin. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your project.

This is an incredible body of work. Rather than tackling just one project, you've transformed almost every aspect of the outdoor space, from the decking and alfresco extension through to the fireplace, drainage, landscaping and front fence. It's clear there's been a huge amount of planning and effort invested to create such a cohesive result.

The photos really highlight the scale of the transformation. I especially like the outdoor fireplace and the custom steel trusses with the polycarbonate roofing, which have created a fantastic entertaining area.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of members interested in your project.
