It fits :cool: But it looks a bit too big for the pond.

Thanks, i'm really pleased with it. I just hope it's long enough

Oh and I made a few mistakes. I cut the curve with a jigsaw and the blade was not straight, because of that i had to go and buy a belt sander to level it back off. I used 5 uprights thinking they wouldn't interfere with the 4 noggins but then didn't think about the first and last being in the...

I made a start the other day and i'm not far off done. Here are a few pictures: Marked my curve Cut it and glued/screwed it on top Made another Put some noggins in Bent a pair of handrails The rock on one side didnt touch the floor for a while Then I put some up bits on And i'm...

No, glued/screwed directly back ontop of the other piece. I've got timber decking, 600mm wide and 3x2 rails which I was going to glue and bolt to the sides.

That's excellent, thanks :) I'll give it a go, worst case I'll have to buy some new 8x2 and do it flat.

You could make your own insuduct with ply and pipe insulation.

I've already got the 8x2, i was going to build it flat but just had the curve idea.

Hello, I'm going to build a bridge over my pond, its doesn't actually go anywhere so I'll rarely be on it, it's more to shade the water and give me something to attach my net too. Its a 3.5mtr span and I was going to use a pair of 8x2's with noggins between and decking on the top. Then I...

Looking at the condition hat chamber I'd be tempted to fit a complete plastic unit, you could dig back on pipe that's dropping in and lower it. Otherwise, if you did do something inside the one that there now it should be OK as long as your stuff lands in the channel.

We have an 8 or 9 year old Better Bathrooms ECO S9 shower that's leaking. It's a concealed valve with an outlet to a head in the ceiling and also a hand held head on the wall. I believe the shower is now obsolete, what are the chances of me repairing it? Would there get standard sized...

Why do my pictures turn on their side :unsure::eek: Saw this outside the chineese last night.

I used some when I made a window opening into a door. They were a stainless rod, threaded with rubber on. When you tightened a nut onto the thread it pulled the rubber tight and expanded it.

I've just had exactly the same problem. Grout had gone in a recess in a wall in the shower, water got behind the tiles and leaked through into the kitchen ceiling.

Retiled this after a leak before Christmas. I didn't want to do it so had been putting it off, wasn't too bad in the end just ended up with a smaller gap on the far side of the top row for some reason.
