These are the worst ones, straight under north to west sun and rain.
But the one in shade or alfresco doors are fine.

Neighbours of ours have a MainVue build with timber windows that is 5 years old, and the stain is still perfect These are the worst ones, straight under north to west sun and rain. But the one in shade or alfresco doors are fine. Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3662Mar 08, 2016 7:18 am Now planning ahead for late winter and spring. I have access to balcony area and idea is to change this bland area into a small roof top kinda garden. Here are some pics giving me inspirations: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ and Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Front garden next to nature strip would be similar too Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ What do you guys think? All ideas would be much appreciated Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3664Mar 08, 2016 8:28 am It would be so beautiful! Just let us know how you plan to achieve this! I have been thinking of this but as we don't have a balcony, going with broadway facard and also with the awning windows, felt this cannot be done. Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3666Mar 08, 2016 4:18 pm Thanks guys It's still in planning phase, though garden bed is already prepared at front and back. About 250 bulbs delivered. might need to order another lot of 250 for the backyard too. Tulips in variety of colors Picasso Ranunculus - Country Blend Daffodil in white and yellow Hyacinth Tube roses lilies In Broadway facade you have plenty of room outside right hand side window to setup planter boxes. There is a small wall there which will hide planter boxes and will also protect plants from winds while they would be small. Thinking to run a small tube to setup watering them up there. But they can be accessed from the window easily. You can pass through that bedroom window Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3667Mar 12, 2016 8:16 pm 250 bulbs where are you planting these many bulbs Mate and where did you order it from ?

I'm sourcing all bulbs from Tesselaar, it's same place who runs tulip farm festival in October. http://www.tesselaar.net.au/ Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3669Mar 17, 2016 7:42 am Thanks for sharing Mate.. Their prices look good but still thinking where could I plant them.. The only thing I'd hate will be to see them flower only for a short while Look forward to seeing your bulbs flower Our Build Thread - http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76750 Build thread of our Monaco Lux Q1 - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76750 Update: Handover - 2 Sep Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3672Apr 16, 2016 8:20 am I always recommend to go with fixed site cost as peace of mind. This is something you can do it only at the very start of sales process. But recently found out that different people are being offered different items covered under fixed site cost. Please read every single item in your fixed site cost section and make sure you understand all inclusions. For example, a friend of mine offered fixed site cost but it did not cover rock removal. Another case where rock removal was included but it won't be carted away. In another case re-establishment of boundary wasn't included. Here is what was included in our build, might be helpful for you to compare: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3675Apr 30, 2016 12:03 am henley says they use intergrain for rich chocolate. I believe same brand for other stains too Re: Sahara Q1 - Backyardian 3676Apr 30, 2016 8:56 pm for timber staining we are using exact same brand intergrain. its one of most expensive product in market, so won't say that Henley is cutting corners there. if you want extra extra durability, you can use: Sikkens 1L Cetol TGL Gloss Plus Timber Finish http://www.bunnings.com.au/sikkens-1l-c ... h_p1522546 but again, after Sikkens coat, you will need to do some decent sanding next time.
