We removed the checker plate. Painted all the green in monument.  Laid tiles on half the backslash and bench. Hand laid pebble mosaic for the other half of the backsplash. Added a bench set , stained and lacquered with a marine quality lacquer.  All products were purchased at Bunnings, including tile adhesive, grout, BBQ and bag of pebbles for the mosaic backsplash

Hi @MCJ,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We are pleased to have you join us and share your updated BBQ area. You'll find Workshop to be a great source of inspiration and advice. If you ever need assistance with the forum please feel free to give me a shout. 

 

You have done a spectacular job updating your BBQ area and I might add with a view like that I would be on the grill all the time! It is really amazing what a fresh new coat of paint can do to a space. Any tips or tricks to share with someone looking to update their BBQ?

Re: Updating a tired BBQ area on a budget

Thankyou Katie.😊

TIP: I chose to do the mosaic pebbles as the BBQ area was not square and tiles would not have fit without lots of small cuts.  It was a good "cheating" option that looked great too.

 

Choose smaller, similar sized pebbles so they adhere better and are not loose when grouting.

Great tips! The mosaic pebbles are working smarter not harder. Thank you @MCJ
