Re: My friends garden and entertainment area make over

Hi @Nishan1,

 

Thank you for sharing another one of your fantastic projects.

 

What a fantastic little shed and outdoor entertainment area.

 

You've done a great job with everything, especially the slatted timber bench and the aluminium roof structure.

 

It's great to hear you could make it out of recycled materials too.

 

Congratulations on another fabulous project

 

Jacob
