My Outdoor Area

I have been giving my outdoor pergola area a bit of a freshen up. I haven't really done anything too exciting, but have added a few items I had stored away for a while. I am very keen to get a timber deck out there, a new table and some timber slats to close it in, but I can't really build these things! This is something I will have to wait for my husband to do. The deck especially is a job that has to be done over consecutive days as it would be too dangerous to leave it unfinished for long periods of time. He works a fair bit, so this will have to wait until he is free!!!

The area is rather big (well to me anyway, I am sure it's not that big to anyone else), and is rather long and the roof is very high. So I have always found this space hard to work with. Firstly, the floor needs to be brought up, and there needs a screening from the roof down to just above head height to close it in a bit more. It is also far too sunny, so hopefully some screening will help. We will be doing the screening in the next few weeks as this is only a small job so I will add some more pictures when done!
