apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It does look surprisingly good. Is it because of the color? Who woulda thunk? I would paint the white wicker chairs the same color.

It does look good, but I actually liked the light and airy feeling of the previous fencing/arrangement.

i liked the previous better. the after looks great, of note except the arrangement.

i should add that i love when ppl try using other materials to make a change from the standard and ubiquitous. so...kudos to jennifer...m

Doesn't steel retain a lot of heat?

If someone had told me about this, I probably wouldn't like it but it looks good in that photo. It might be the colour it's painted.

Yikes - definitely more into the before, and REALLY not into the corrugated iron.

I absolutely LOVE it!

I absolutely hate it!

Isn't corrugated steel usually galvanized, and does galvanized metal stay painted? (Maybe there is a special priner required??) (I always believed paint peeled from the metal, which is why you hardly ever see it painted...)

I too prefer the white fencing to the metal surround. Maybe it helps with privacy or sind control or some other pragmatic issue, but aesthetically, I'd stick with the fencing.

It is always a spirit lifter to do something new and refreshing. Love the color.

This sort of look is pretty common in Australia.

The carpet is so wrong in the after photo... But I like steel!
