Hi all, I have an old broken brick BBQ which I would like to make somewhat more appealing to the eye... ideally without too much skill or cost if possible. I was thinking of using some sleepers to block off the front and then fill with soil to make some raised beds. What do you think? Any other suggestions? Anything I should bare in mind if I end up making the raised beds (ie do I need to paint the bricks beforehand?). Unfortunately it gets covered in pine needles, but I guess if I keep the tree trimmed back it won't be so bad. Thanks so much in advance.
Hello @lyndas100
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your old brick BBQ.
Turning it into a planter using sleepers sounds like an excellent idea. My only other thoughts are to continue with your plant themed idea. I propose installing a trellis on the back brick wall to give climbing plants such as star jasmine a chance to grow and flourish. You can also hang light weight flowerpots for succulents or herbs and edibles.
Let me call on our experienced members @mich1972 and @Adam_W for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
