Re: small backyard landscape

Hi @Disco-Stu,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

This looks like a fantastic place to have a BBQ and share a few beverages with friends and family.

 

A well-decorated little haven to relax in.

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

Jacob
