Re: Raised garden deck using recycled materials

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
