About Jena Slocum

I've been an avid DIYer since owning my first home in 2003. So much so that I apprenticed with a carpenter and then started my own carpentry business. I have built many fences, decks and pergolas for clients for the last 10 years and love sharing that knowledge with our readers.
I love taking a bare backyard and creating a beautiful space to gather with friends and family. I especially love building hardscapes like decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens that elevate backyards into year round hangouts.
