Hi @jamiehay,

Thank you for sharing your stepped decking project and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is great to have you with us.

I love the simple yet elegant back drop that you've created with the aluminium panels and the vertical decking boards

This is a great feature for your garden that I'm sure you'll enjoy relaxing on of an afternoon and into the night.

Congratulations on a fantastic project.

Jacob
