Video for inspiration and ideas!
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…
-
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!

Custom Furniture being built
I build seating along the fence line and attached a tall backing to it. All this lumber was 1×4 and 2×4. I covered the furniture with enamel paint for protection from the elements.

Horizontal modern design

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.
