I'm busy planning my deck and pergola. This is what I'm thinking at the moment.
I thought the 3 layer deck would be nice (total deck length is 9m, pergola length is 6m, highest deck is 35cm above ground).
I was thinking of using the lowest deck to put a lounger couch on, but not sure it takes up too much space. Also, not sure the planter box along that deck makes sense either? It's around 45-50cm wide.
In the designs, I've staggered down the planter boxes. The deck is 3m wide at the top, and 3.15m wide in the lower part (from house brick to planters).
The part without deck goes off into our garden.
Fence is colourbond 2m above ground (so 1.7m above the higher deck).
I also have no idea where to put the BBQ or if I should build in a BBQ area, or simply use a portable to make the space bigger.
(I can add some screens without plants if that helps).
Here's some designs
Would love your thoughts.
