Examples of Custom Solutions
The Custom Bunny Fence
A client needed to keep rabbits out of their vegetable garden but standard fencing wasn't working. I designed and built a custom fence with underground barriers and angled tops that has kept the bunnies out for years.The Garage Storage System
A client with a small garage needed to fit two cars plus storage for bikes, tools, and sports equipment. I created a custom overhead storage system and wall-mounted solutions that maximised every inch of space.The Hidden Pet Door
A client wanted a pet door but didn't want it visible from the street. I installed a custom pet door through a laundry cabinet that was completely hidden when closed.The Vertical Garden Wall
A client with a tiny courtyard wanted a garden. I built a custom vertical garden wall with integrated irrigation that turns a blank fence into a lush green space.Why Custom Solutions?
