Large back yard fence idea
Comments (18)Thankyou for all help and suggestions. We are going with brick pillars and hedge between, with chain wire fence for security whilst the hedges grow. We want to tie it in with the front brick pillar and panel fence. We would not the pillars as close t ogeather as the fence, but we arent sure if to do every second, third or fourth pillar spacing?.

Comments (15)There is nothing more Aussie than a backyard BBQ! We are finding with the estate blocks getting smaller, more of our homes are being customed and personalised to include a BBQ area in the under cover Alfresco space.
