Backyard Retreat -- Wooden Awnings

by Angela
We've done a lot of DIY projects in our backyard and I'm showcasing them all in a series called Backyard Retreat! First up in our series is "wooden awnings"!
To see how we did it, please drop by http://twelveoaksmanor.com
"Before"....back of house was flat and boring!
"After"... just a little wood and 3 days of work made a world of difference!
Adding hanging planters completed the look!

    Looks fabulous! I've been wanting to do something similar to my house but was concerned about damaging the siding; what type of bolts/screws did you use please? Are you aware of any concerns with drilling into siding? Thanks!!

  • Adding some retractable covers on those awnings would allow some great shade over the inside of your home! Depending on the location, it may not be too ideal for outdoor shading due to the 90 degree angle! Looks great though!
