After I showed you how we did up our derelict garden in the last video it is now time for an area I sort of neglected last year, the back patio.
Wonky uneven tiles, overgrown plant and an overall sad look, it was time for a makeover!!

Yes, I love how you made this beautiful seating area, literally made or built everything! Well done you! Great job! I've been wanting to work on a seating area in the backyard corner area too, and I've been trying to figure out a good canopy diy... I'll have to remember how you bought Reed fencing(?) for that... I never knew what those were called but I've always loved how rustic yet beach vibey outdoorsy they look and make u feel. Glad I found ya! TFS! ❤❤ Take care 👍👍

Nice one Hester! Have you seen the Flatpack episode of Bluey? If ever there was a cartoon for you, it's that one. :)

Thanks!! Big Bluey fans here :D Love the Flatpack episode but my all time favourite must be Hammerbarn or Unicorse :D

Super leuk! Blijft dit een beetje stevig staan als er veel wind is?

Wow amazing! Did you attach the roof to the frame yourself? I want to buy this but not sure if i can attach the room myself.

@handmadehome 2 ай бұрын

thanks!! Yes I attached the reed roof to the frame, this is very easy I just cable tied it on. You can see this at 04:30 For sure you can to this too! :)

Wow!! What a great job - I actually bought this but I was thinking...I need to put it into slabs, like you did....so it kinda put me off doing it....but now you've inspired me to do it - thanks so much!! Totally subbed!!!! PS - would you mind telling - what kind of screws or whatever did you use? thanks a million! 🥰

@handmadehome 10 ай бұрын

That’s great! I just used a large wall plug and the sized screws that go with them. Anything over 8cm will do. Did you use the gazebos tent roof or did you hack yours too?

@jenevievewallace7678 5 ай бұрын

I love this idea! How does it hold up against light rain? Does it give any protection against it? Just thinking for when a sudden shower comes and I don’t want to run in and out with my cushions all day 😂

@handmadehome 4 ай бұрын

Hi, it does hold back a drizzle but full, heavy rain will come through.Maybe if you layer another piece of reed on top it will stop it. It survived 3 winter storms so I'm pretty impressed with the gazebo :D

@dskye2634 2 ай бұрын

Hello... did you put the top gazebo piece up by yourself?

@handmadehome 2 ай бұрын

Hi, the last step in the gazebo build is a two person job so I had some help with that. But if you mean the reed roof then yes I put that up myself

@sdqsdq6274 Жыл бұрын

ermm what if it rains ?

@handmadehome Жыл бұрын

I’ll go inside 😄 I build it as a sun shade not to be able to sit outside in the rain. So far it’s been in two storms and the roof didn’t shed any reeds. I recon it will last me two or so years before I need to replace the roof.
