Fire pit area

It was time to say goodbye to our kids sand pit & cubby house and hello BBQ summer days and winter firer pit nights. 

we have used merbau screens for the fence with Un-Real hedge panels & created our own custom bench seat utilised more merbau screens also. 

this took us multiple weekends but the end result is totally worth it! 

cost wise, the fence was around $2000 & the bench seat/paving area was about the same including the pavers & rocks ect.

Re: Fire pit area

This looks awesome. I have been trying to do similar screens to our fence (just waiting for isolation in VIC to finish)

 

I love those marbau screens but can't find them online anywhere. Any chance you could point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

Simone.

Re: Fire pit area

Hi @Simmoann 

 

the herringbone panels are merbau but unfortunately a promotional line so not listed on the website - the item @MitchellMc has suggested is very similar just different timber. 
the bench seat is is a live line https://www.bunnings.com.au/specrite-1800-x-902mm-merbau-slat-screen-panel_p8500281

 

hope that helps you out!

Re: Fire pit area

Hey! Looks beautiful. Do the leaves fall of the artificial hedge squares, exposing the mesh behind ? I bought these yesterday and some are already falling off as I took them out of the box.
