My side patio was a mess for as long as I can remember. When it comes to upkeep, a home is a never ending story!
inside and out! These are the before pictures of the patio.
I wanted to create a space that could be used. I removed all the rubble. Next I cleared the area and leveled it. I Boxed it in with 1×4, so I could pour the concrete. Before that I added conduit so I could run wires and have outlets around the area. I filled the frames with rocks, added rebar and mesh.
It was a back breaking job to pour and finish the slab. I was just one guy and had to mix as I went along. I did the two small ones one day and the larger box on another. Here you can see the slabs are curing. I added wind sails, they really make the space! I built seating along the fence line and attached a tall backing to it. All this lumber was 1×4 and 2×4. I covered the furniture them with enamel paint. I also built this smaller bench to tie the area together.
The cool thing about this patio project is, it feels modern and welcoming! The furniture also serves as privacy from prying eyes.
This is the space I created, I hope it gave you some ideas
let us know what you think.
