Outdoor projects are where things get creative and practical. These are the fun ones. The kind that involve tools on the lawn, timber stacked in the corner, and a bit of problem-solving in the fresh air.
We’ve taken on all sorts of outdoor DIY, from upcycling old pallets into furniture and garden beds, to remedying missing window putty, building raised beds, and planning out a hot house. Some projects are purely practical, others are just for fun, but all of them add something special to our space.
Over the years, many of our DIY projects have been featured in a variety of magazines. It’s a reminder that small, hands-on projects can really resonate with others and inspire creativity beyond our own backyard.
This section is full of the outdoor builds and ideas that bring our place to life. You’ll find repurposed materials, seasonal projects, structural fixes, and weekend makes that are achievable without needing fancy tools or a massive budget.
Whether you’re dreaming of your own DIY greenhouse, sprucing up the garden, or just love building things with your hands, I hope this space gives you the ideas and encouragement to give it a go.
