Two things, many of us have nosy neighbors.....and have need for a patio space that is functional! Well, that was the case for me. So I planned out a design and created a modern outdoor space that addressed both problems! Check it out...


Video for inspiration and ideas!


Before


My side patio was a mess! For as long as I can remember, When it comes to up-keep, a home is a never ending story...inside and out! This is the before picture.



removing rubble and clearing the area


First I removed all the rubble.


Boxing in the area


Next I cleared the area and leveled it I Boxed it in with 1x4s so I could pour the concrete.



Conduit for outlets


Before adding rocks, I added conduit so I could run wires and have outlets around the patio.


Pouring the slab


I filled the frames with rocks and added rebar and mesh. It was a back breaking job to pour and finish the slab!


Slab and wind sails


I was just one guy and had to mix as I went along. I did the two small ones one day and the larger box on another. Here you can see the slabs are curing. I added wind sails, they really make the space!


Wind Sails


Another look at the wind sails.


Custom Furniture being built


I build seating along the fence line and attached a tall backing to it. All this lumber was 1x4 and 2x4. I covered the furniture with enamel paint for protection from the elements.


Horizontal modern design


Patio furniture is made with a horizontal design, take a look.


Enamel Paint on patio furniture


Furniture painted with outdoor enamel paint for maximum protection from the elements!


Patio is looking great!


The cool thing about this patio project is, it feels modern and welcoming. The furniture also serves as privacy from prying eyes. This is the space I created I hope it gave you some ideas.

    You did an absolutely beautiful job with this patio! The idea of fence/seating around the edges is very creative! I am moving soon and we'll definitely do this at my new place.

    Did you get the electrical work inspected? How do you get access to the T fitting once the concrete is poured on top of it?

    Yes I love your fence seating area. Just finished my fence and wished I saw this earlier. I will give this some thought.
