Transforming the car-port to a patio area

We haven't been using the carport at our house because it's actually too short to fit the Ute in and be able to close the gates behind it.

When mum was over on holiday she suggested we could utilise the space by turning it into an outdoor dining area - because it is the one spot on the property with a view to the hills.

With this in mind I jumped at the chance to buy a second hand 8-piece outdoor dining set from one of my work mates who no longer needed theirs.  A bargain at $100!

All it needed was a quick hose down and scrub and it looks like new again.  Once in place it was off to Bunnings to buy 3m roll of bamboo to screen off the road a bit better and create some privacy - the bamboo won't last forever but at $16 a roll it doesn't matter!

Here is the result...



With mosquitoes being a bit of a pain this year I've got 3 citronella candles on the table and some citronella spirals for on the ground.  

Next step: invite some people over and start using it!
