Backyard makeover

Hello everyone, 

 

When I moved into this house the backyard needed some real love and with time we started fixing the backyard to be more practical and enjoyable. The first thing done was creating a panel to cover the aircon unit on one side, followed by a vertical panel to cover up an old fence on the other side. 

 

Both these panels were done with Pine Fence Palings, making it super affordable and giving it a more relaxed look. The Pine Fence Palings are really handy because can cut them as preferred and after good sand, they are ready to be either stained or painted as I did here. 

 

And finally, created a built-in bench with a dog bed on one side and storage on the other with the Merbau Decking and can confirm my puppy loves it :smile:

Re: Backyard Makeover

That looks amazing @lifestylebymari! So much more inviting than what you started with.

 

I'd be keen to learn more about your bench with a built-in doggie bed. Got any pictures of the inside? Those tiles are a real winner too.

 

You've done a fantastic job, and many thanks for sharing.

 

Mitchell
