Hi all,

Pretty much finished our big backyard upgrade. Here are some pics:

Before: My wife starting on the painting


Before: the other corner of the backyard


After: Same place as the first pic


After: Same place as the second pic


After: The whole backyard


All we are waiting on are some decorative pots for the plants, also still debating whether we should stain the deck to be darker.

Can you tell me more about the deck "floor"? Where did you get those wooden squares?

Here in Australia there's a large homewares chain called Freedom. We got them from there at about $75 (Aussie $$) per square meter (4 tiles).

The tiles had the word "iDeck" stamped underneath, and a bit of Googling finds them here:

and here:

Very easy to lay, it took about 2 half days to do our 20 square meter courtyard, and most of that time was cutting them to fit around the edges and poles.
