it’s not every year you turn 50 and
the crew at Warwick Fabrics marked the
occasion with parties for suppliers,
customers and supporters in several states- rounding it off with a raucous affair in
hometown melbourne last month.
the venerable Australian company was
founded by tom Warwick, who roped his
brother max into the business. He
nominates macrosuede in the ’90s as a
game changer. “We sold enough to stretch
across the nullarbor and back,” says tom,

sons and co-directors, cameron and

Has this romantic shelter from our decorating feature on page
32, inspired you to build a DIY pergola? Adding a pergola is
a great way to create a relaxing haven in your backyard, as
well as enhancing the look and ambience of your home.
We asked the experts at Bunnings for advice on practical matters
to consider before you pick up any tools:
1 When choosing a location for your pergola, consider where
sunlight falls across the site throughout the year, so you can
make the most of winter sun and summer shade.
2 Check with your council or other local authority to find out
whether you need to secure approval to build the structure.
3 Water, gas and sewer pipes all run underneath the ground
of your property. Before you undertake any task that involves
digging or drilling into the ground, it’s important to work out
where these utilities are buried in order to avoid problems.

pergolas, go to http://www.bunnings.com.au.
