Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, @Steinym . It is wonderful to have you with us.

You've done a magnificent job with the repair and upgrade of your verandah. Incorporating the leadlight panels you made 30 years ago gives it a really lovely personal touch.

The new Weathertex panels, both along the ceiling and the end walls, give the space so much depth and a really polished looking finish.

Thanks for sharing your project and congratulations on a job well done.
