It’s here! Well…almost. Spring is at our doorstep, and I don’t know about you, but I cant wait!
To get you prepped for spring, I’ve rounded out some of my fave DIY outdoor/backyard projects & maintenance from the past two years.
Wooden Outdoor Furniture Maintenance
Taking care of teak and other outdoor wooden furniture
Reclaimed Wood Easy Outdoor Table
Taking an old work 2×12 and turning it into a simple outdoor table with a shelf.
Perfect for holding magazines & a cold drink.
Drop Cloth Outdoor Drapes
Turning inexpensive hardware store canvas drop cloths into custom outdoor drapes.
Painting a distressed Ghost Sign Wall Mural
You know those faded shop signs & ads on the sides of old buildings?
We painted our own on the side of our urban garage.
BBQ Area Facelift
Using inexpensive deck tiles to give a new lease on an old bbq area.
Backyard Horizontal Slat Fence
A weekend project building a modern horizontal slat fence.
Really, its easier than it looks!
Do you have any awesome DIY backyard projects? Share!
Love the fence. Did you find your version to be more or less expensive than those pre-made wooden fences for sale at Home Depot or Lowes?
Thanks!
Hi Zoran,
I think the fence turned out cheaper than the pre-built ones. But I couldn’t tell you for sure without looking it up myself. Generally the raw lumber cost will work out less than a pre-built product.
