Railing planters
To gain extra growing space, make and hang these easy-to-build planters on almost any wooden fence or deck railing. Use Resene FX Blackboard Paint so you can easily identify what plants are in each. Find out how to create your own with these easy step by step instructions.
Fireplaces/ outdoor ovens
Hi everyone,
Just recently became a member on here and would like to let everyone know a little bit about my services. I do all types of masonry work on anything from large new builds to small renovations and alterations.
I enjoy doing feature work and can create some cool bbq’s, fireplaces and outdoor brick/pizza ovens etc using various types of brick and stone. We also do paving etc, So if you’re interested in upgrading your outdoor entertaining area then get in touch and we can help create something special for you.

Cheers
Keith
