Thanks for your advice. I think from memory the steel purlins are at 24" centres so i think 10/11mm osb or ply should be thick enough like you have. After all there is very little weight in the coroline and they manufacturers dont tell you that you need such a base material anyway. Cheers for...

Hi everyone, I have a prefab concrete section garage which from a walls and door point of view is structurally sound and water tight. The roof however which is asbestos cement corrugated rubbish is now leaking like a teabag, so a replacement roof is needed. The garage is 3x5m with a flat...

Hi, I have a standard single pre-fab garage, which ideally i would love to knock down and build a bigger garage in its place, but funds won't allow. As well as re-roofing it, I would like to have the pebble dash effect rendered so that if my kids fall on the garage they wont lose any...

Thanks DAZB, I'll price up the materials based on your recommendations. Cheers

Hi all. Seeing as I cant afford a nice new garage, I have decided to revamp the concrete pebbledash leaky asbestos roofed garage I already have.... I have done some trawling around this forum and the internet and have decided that EPDM is the way to go, in place of the asbestos. So...

Alarm, Think you have taken my comment about wanting to ask an independant the wrong way... I wasnt saying that you weren't independant, i was just asking for the advice of "another" independant before i rang suppliers Cheers for your help

Alumni, Have you ever fitted a CISA lock to double gates? I was hoping that the hook on the closing gate grabbing around the striker on the already closed and locked in position gate would work. ie If you try and push them open both together the hook and striker would be forced together...

oh dont say that..., looking at the design of the CISA i was under the impression it clamped around the pin fixed to the other gate, so it wouldnt be able to be pushed open but having not seen these locks in the flesh i take your word for it. At the moment i have one gate secured in place purely...

oh right, I had no idea that the CISA would buzz. Have you had any experience of these locks. I've only seen them on the web and they seem ok. I have double opening gates so seem the best way to lock them after looking at magnetic locks and solenoid locks. Cheers by the way for your input so...

I got the lot, including 3 phones and various other housings which arent needed for £80 delivered... All new, so i think it wasnt a bad deal. The gates aren't actually automated, I am going to hook up a CISA 12v lock...

The module has four buttons. I know that I only need one so i'll probably blank three off and obviously not cable them up. (I bought the system off ebay a few weeks ago so had to take the four button module). The gates by the way are only about 6-8meters from where the transformer will be...

Thanks for the info... yep i agree, the plug top was merely for convenience, but seeing as i have to put the transformer somewhere else i can take a spur off. - What size fuse do you normally fit for intercoms?

Where is the 'usual' place to install this? alongside the consumer unit, in the under stairs cupboard etc?

Hello everyone, first post coming up... Please could someone be kind enough to give me some advice?? I have recently bought a Comelit Intercom / Keypad for my driveway gates. I have read the installation instructions and wiring diagram for the system and being an Engineer and keen DIY’er...
