Where to start
Ideas to try first
Decide what the space is for before choosing materials. A dining area needs room to pull chairs back from the table, a lounge needs shade, and a cooking area works best close to the kitchen door. Then pick a surface, some overhead cover and lighting.
Shoot from the back door or a corner so the house wall and the edges of the space are in frame. The house, fences and steps stay where they are unless you ask for a new layout.
