Hi everyone, I've decided to build a shed for my garden, a pretty big shed. To make it a little more interesting I would like to add a green roof to it. My current design (images attached) has a 10 degree slope with beans of 3.4m in length. Structure: - Footings using 4x4 beams - 2x4 cross...

That's correct for people who do not care about neighbours, pedestrians, drivers or cyclists. However, I am sick off neighbours, pedestrians, drivers and cyclists lurking and trashing my garden.

Well that's pants. Why does it need to be so difficult for me to do anything on my land.

Thank you for responses. Just to give you more information. There is currently a 2foot brick wall which marks the boundary and is alongside the road/path. I would want to put my new fence just behind it without removing it. So my understanding is that because my baoundary is marked already by a...

Thanks John, I am not planning to use panels. I would like to use vertical planks along the length with horizontal planks between the posts.

Hi DIYers, My house is at an end of a street with an L shape garden area. Currently, there is a 50cm height brick fence. One side of the garden is along side a street (16m). I want to build a tall around 1.8m height wooden fence. At then end of the fence I am planning to do a 90 degree turn...

I've taken the cables out and replaced by 2 core 3Amp 720volt for LEDs. Pics coming to night

LEDs don't have earth. Plus I've bought an already wired set of 3 LEDs by manufacturer.

The lighting setup has its own AC-DC converter box so there's a wire coming in and then 2 cables come out for LEDs cause ground for them is not needed.

Secure spark, There are 3-4 cables coming into the back box. SELV cables and LV cables? When you hire a professional, you think they know what they are doing. I have no idea what safe zones are. Thanks

These are the images. This is as much as the spur will go into the wall

Ok sorry for the confusion gentlemen, I've compared the cable installed for the lights and it's the 2.5mm2 CSA. I've worked on embedded circuits (and yes I know it may not be the same as domestic house wiring), but it just does not make sense to me to use a 240V 38A cable for 12V 0.74A...

Sorry it's a 6mm cable just like this one http://www.wickes.co.uk/twin+earth-cable-6mmx5m/invt/156183/

It seems that diynot.com are having issues with uplaoding images. I'll try again later.
