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

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Bmac. It's amazing that you've joined us, and many thanks for your questions about this incredible project.

 

Hopefully, @lcooksey88 can answer your question for us, but it does look quite similar to drainage gravel.

 

Do you have a similar project in mind, or did you like the look and were considering using these rocks in some landscaping?

 

We look forward to hearing all about your plans around the house and garden and would encourage you to let us know any time you need assistance or have something to share. I trust you'll find loads of inspiration within the community as our amazing community members contribute their own projects here all the time.
