The project:
We turned our old in-ground spa area into the perfect private chillout spot by adding privacy screening and a firepit.
- Materials:
- Walpix perforated aluminium screens with native Australian plant design
- Aluminium slats
- Solar powered fairy lights behind them to light them up
- Pine bark mulch
- Rainbow stone
- Lots of plants
- Rust edging for the round fire pit.
- Tools:
- Ryobi drill
- Hired compactor
- Ground leveler
- Level
- Rivet gun
- Paving leveller.
- Step 1:
Cleared out the spa and raised the ground level with roadbase to allow for an extra step.
Covered the broad base in bluestone for the paving and painstakingly tried to get the correct level.
We then used Bunnings compactor to level out our pavers.
- Step 2:
Concreted posts in to hold the back panelled wall and ran horizontal aluminium posts to attach the panels to.
We riveted the panels on, added the slat wall to the sides and hung lights to the back of the panels.
- Step 3:
We added the rust edging in a circular shape and placed down weed matting before adding the rainbow stones.
