Thanks for all the input. I've come to the conclusion that I need to rethink the design. :) As soon as the travel restrictions were lifted at the weekend my usual spark disappeared to his place in Spain last week and won't be back for at least 3 weeks.:mrgreen: The RCD in the main CU only...

I'm building an outdoor cooking area that will need lighting. My thoughts are that if I'm taking power out for lighting I may as well put a socket at the same time. The plan is to feed it from the detached garage that has a typical garage CU with 2x MCBs (1x 6A & 1x 32A) but no RCB. The main...

I've looked in to it and there are flashing designed for taking the flues from wood burning stoves through polycarbonate roofs. You also need a double flue to insulate it.

My plan is to use 3 x 3000mm posts for the rear and 3 x 3600mm for the front and concrete them in at around 600-900mm depth. The area I'm building it in is quite sheltered. The wall is about 20 feet high but as it is Grade 2 listed I can't fix anything to it. In any case, it goes off at an...

My concern was that it was over-engineered and I think you agree. ;) As the roof only needs to support itself and the Corrapol polycarbonate sheets I think I can cut down the number of joists/rafters to have approximately 1000mm centres but I'll still need the same number of pulins as the...

I have an outdoor cooking area with a BBQ and Pizza Oven. It generally only gets used in good weather as preparing pizza dough when it's ******* down isn't a good idea. The area I'm looking to cover is 4m wide by 2.2m deep. The roof will slope on the short length. I intend to cover the roof...
