potting shed


The potting shed is made from recycled materials, and is a great place to enjoy being in the garden and working with plants, even on rainy days.

Invisiguard security doors


These Invisiguard security doors at front (here) and back are fantastic. They give a clear view when looking out, and yet also give excellent security (you'd need an angle grinder to cut the stainless steel mesh, and they are triple locking). With these I can leave the doors open all night in summer to catch the cooling breezes. There's also a ceiling fan in the lounge to help the cool air flow through the house.

still more garden photos

Back sitting spot with table and chairs under the gums.
