What a terrific first project to share with the Bunnings Workshop community @Julzy1405. I'm sure many members will be inspired by what you have achieved with your front yard makeover.
The deck looks like a great spot to enjoy a drink after a long day. I'm also a fan of the steel edging.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We look forward to seeing what projects you tackle next. Please don't hesitate to post whenever you need a hand or have a project to share.
