Well that question has now been answered, the trellis has indeed been added to the verandah and it works rather nicely. More-so than the old version actually, considering the shape never matched the interior, and it also explains why the porch on the interior set is now larger.
Didn't hide that extra door though They're using that door as the side door, I guess. Really they needed to turn that one into a window.
And today's ep confirmed that yes they are using that door as the 'main' door.I don't think we've seen much of the Summer Bay House interior, but does the trellis cover the door on the interior? Looking at the sunlight on Roo's face in today's 5* episode as she looked out of it I don't think it does.
Yeah the trellis does cover the door onset lol. Maybe they could move the trellis back abit to match the new exterior and have it like the farm house's main door where it looks like its open but have a better version of the fake outside look. But I'm just happy they're filming more outside scenes
