Build a water garden or fish pond
Build a water garden or fish pond. You should consider what type of aquatic life you want in the pond. Is it going to be a home for goldfish or koi? Or is your main concern for the aquatic plants? Perhaps you only want the pond for the sound of a waterfall.

Build Garden Gates
As with all outside timber structures, gates have to be designed to withstand the elements. It is a relatively common experience to have difficulty trying to open (and shut) some timber gates that are either jammed between the posts, or have sagged and are dragging on the ground. A bit of forethought can alleviate these problems.

California Redwood Pergola
I have a particular look that I am trying to achieve with my home. I want it to appear that it has been here far longer than its actual 8 years. For this reason I use lots of recycled redwood and cedar which I milled on a planer. It provides a nice patina and the nail and knot holes provide the worn look I like.

Cedar Pergola Plans
A vital part of pergola construction is ensuring that the posts can handle the weight of the overhead beams. The posts are set in concrete footings you can pour yourself, or buy readymade from your building supply dealer.
