It looks fantastic, what a great job. Where did you buy the slats for your panels? Are they cedar?

Looks like just the place for a glass of wine or three...

Hi amyoliver, thank you! Yes, the panels are cedar and they were cut to size by a local timber merchant. I had been looking everywhere for fencing/screening like this but couldn't find any so we just did our own. Really simple actually! Oh and the elephant was as cheap as chips from B&Q years ago!

What a brilliant use of space, I love it!
How much did the makeover cost in the end?

It looks great Oswald - only trouble is you have no garden waste to put in the fire pit! Hope you saved up a nice little pile of offcuts.

Really love it Oswald, I'm going to save the pics for inspiration for our garden.

Did you do the work yourself or get someone in to do it all? It oo would love to know what it cost you if it's not too rude a question!

Wow. It's spaces like this that make me sad I don't have a garden! Lovely and modern-is it as low-maintenance as it looks?
