When we started working with David and Kerry, they had done some amazing renovations to their home and were keen to add the finishing touches to their build. Their home is surrounded by natural bushland and they were seeking to transform their backyard into an incredible entertainment area.

The sophistication of the gabled roof created a natural airflow and created an immediate impression on the boys from Dependabuild, who were able to add a state-of-the-art decking continuing the consistency and flow of the original design. David and Kerry wanted an even colour deck that was strong, durable and able to combat the elements. Choosing a 140 x 22 mm Blackbutt for the decking fixed down with 12 gauge stainless steel screws and box-style steps, they also integrated Weathertex cladding and removed some walls to create the openings for adding aluminium glass doors.

Backyard Entertainment Decking

These larger style steps (Box Landing Style) provided access to the open second-story deck that was to be the entertainment hub of the backyard design. The steps doubled as box-style seating, enabling them to have the flexibility to utilise the space and ensuring comfortable seating without excessive clutter.

The stairs were to be cohesively integrated for those warm summer evenings where David and Kerry wanted to optimise their space to create an outdoor theatre within their own private haven.

Another focal point to this design was the vast 6-metre sliding aluminium doors from Brisbane Water Glass, which were installed after removing exterior walls. These feature doors enabled access to the indoor and outdoor space integrating the modern feel of the newly renovated home. Windows are a natural way to create light and warmth within a home, as well as creating the feeling of open space.

David and Kerry’s exterior addition has been built with meticulous attention and a lot of well thought out spaces to ensure that their renovation suits their needs and compliments their lifestyle.
