Thanks for all the replies!

Thanks for the reply. So nothing I can really do then? I've seen a lot of furniture etc made from these boards for indoor use, wonder how they get around this issue.. Thanks!

Hi All, I have picked up some scaffold boards without any real plans in mind :o One of the lengths of board has been in my shed for around 4 months. I brought it indoors yesterday to measure it, leaving it overnight. This morning, it has some quite pronounced cracks in the end faces...

Great thanks. Sloped sides makes sense as well :oops:

Sorry for the thread resurrection! Thermo - did you get a chance to find the pics? As well as the base needing support what are peoples opinions on the sides of the pit? I'm looking at sinking in a 12' trampoline and I don't want the walls collapsing in.. Thanks

Ah thanks, not seen that kind of system before. So I think I would need this: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4890.html http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4501LV.html http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK3702.html...

Thanks for the replies. Thinking about it, I think the lights are run off the socket circuit. Could I replace the existing switch with something along these lines: http://tinyurl.com/yzevp9b And then run a dimmer switch after that? Thanks

Hi, Just after a quick bit of advice. The light switch in my conservatory currently looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/yj8fabd It's switching a spotlight with 4 GU10 bulbs. Is there anything to stop me replacing it with a normal dimmer switch? I've searched but can't find any...

Hi, after some advice again... I have a 1.5 x 2m section of decking that is currently sitting on some slabs at ground level. I've decided to raise this to approx 4-5ft off the ground, to allow some storage underneath and give the kids a nice high seat with slide coming off it. Question...

Thanks for the advice guys, will go with the screw/batten idea

Hi, need some advice! I'm building a chicken run and need to fix the weldmesh to the wooden frame. Hammering a load of staples in doesn't exactly fill me with joy, do you think one of these would do the job? http://tinyurl.com/4musop And would the 18 gauge staples be big enough? Thanks!

Hi, I've acquired some mosaic tiles but quite a few have come off the mesh backing... Which glue would be best suited to re-attach them to the mesh? (If I need to at all?) Thanks..
