@esotericonetwork 11 месяцев назад

Can you suggest how did you cover the bench surface? Are these ceramic tiles over the blocks? Or the surface has smaller 4 inch blocks ?

@Akilahreynolds 11 месяцев назад

I’ve cover the whole surface with a waterproof cement based coating and I painted on top after with a patio paint. ☺️

Hey, what software did you use to plan out your backyard? Nice job. 💯

@Akilahreynolds Год назад

I used sketchup ☺️

@p215j Год назад

Nice build. Came out great. The main problem you're going to find is your color choice of white & light colors will CONSTANTLY need cleaning. Outdoors has so much dirt & grime. It never stops. Please do a yearly follow-up to discuss the pros & cons.

@Akilahreynolds Год назад

Thank you 😊 yes will do ! I live the white but its true that you need to keep it clean 🧼

@aniabrandt7 Год назад

If u add few drops of washing liquid to cement, it will become waterproof & moldproof

@Akilahreynolds Год назад

Oh wow 🤩 I didn’t know that

@lisawilliams6866 Год назад

A tip I learned... there is a pebble "glue" you can buy, to keep the rocks in place.

@Akilahreynolds Год назад

Yes 🙌🏽 I think I’m going to try that !

@shomemo37 Год назад

I just watched a video where a guy sprayed mulch glue on the gravel and it wouldn’t budge! You might try that. I love your space!!!

@Akilahreynolds Год назад

Yesss a couple of people told me that ! I’m definitely going to try that
