First we replaced the old fence panels with smart slatted trellis and laid a new, high-quality ipe deck. Ipe is a very durable hardwood from Brazil and is a superb material for decking. We used the same wood to make a new entrance gate and then it was time to place the mirrors.
One went on the solid wall at the closed end of the passage, the other we positioned between the kitchen door and the gate, so that you could see each entrance from the other. Some leafy hostas and other shade loving plants were added in stylish brown planters and the whole space now had a classy, clean and generous feel.
