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!!

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 😂

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 👍👍

Thanks!! You can buy this kind of screening in almost every DIY store and garden centre. Mine is a reed one buy there is bamboo too you could use.

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 Жыл 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?

@ItaintmeCCC 4 ай бұрын

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 4 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! :)
