Re: Decking, Paving, Concrete or something else?Landscape & Garden Design

Dec 29, 2010 7:32 pm

We are weighing up the same options at the moment :) We have opted for a low deck made from Merbau... thats what we had at our previous house, and we loved it.... Merbau is very hard wearing, and only needs a coat of oil every year or two.... decking oil is not too pricy, and super easy to recoat wi...

Hi Renee :) Congrats!! We are loving our Urbis! Its a great size... only we would have had bigger bedrooms for the kid... we found out I was pregnant with our newest daughter just after signing contracts!! If we knew there was going to be three kid, we may have opted for a four bedroom plus a rumpus...

yep, 40x40 ;) I think its probably too late to alter the contracts, but its worth asking your sales guy anyway, just incase they have not started drafting them yet. I think the dune infill should look fine. Dune is one of those neutral colours... should look okay I think. I guess its onlu a coat of ...

Busy times! :) the Bamboo is great... easy to clean, doesnt dent easily at all (passes the kids test).... it does seem to scratch a bit, but if you put pads on your chair legs etc, you can avoid that issue... all timber scratches .... and I would prob...
