Had a look at the Jacksons website and they give a 25 year guarantee on their wooden posts. Are the Jacksons slotted wooden posts good? Expensive but if they are going to last well worth the investment. They also do their own Tri metal posts as well

Thanks for the replies. Those pictures make for grim viewing so maybe time for a rethink!

Thanks for the reply and good to hear. Nice to get some real world feedback. I was going to fit concrete posts but these are going to look a lot better and be a dam site lighter to move around having fitted concrete one before :LOL:

Thanks for the reply. It does get pretty windy at times but the only fences that have come down historically have been ones that are on their way out with rot anyway. The specs for the Duraposts states they are good for up to 110 Mph winds but I don't know if that is the individual post or post...

Good evening all, Just after some opinions and feedback on Durapost fence posts if anyone has used them before. I have a 1.8M high fence that I am going to be building shortly and like the look of this post compared to wood and concrete especially in regards to the fit and longevity. How do...

Cheers all for the replies. Raked fence it is then!

Hello all, I wondered if anyone could offer some advice or give a concrete answer on a fence height question that I am struggling to get a clear answer for. I maybe missing the obvious here so I apologise if it is a bone question but the generic information given on the planning portal or...

John, Thanks for the swift reply. Tomorrow I will check the hand brake cable is slackened, the self adjuster is at its minimum. I took the old shoes and drums into unipart to make sure I got the correct ones and also did a visual check before fitting and they look identical so hopefully...

Hello, Plea for advice! Today I attempted to replace my rear Mondeo Mk 2 brake shoes and drums. All went well until a tried to re-fit the actual new drums. I cannot get them back on even thou I have set the brake adjusting mechanism to its lowest position. The cylinder appears to be fully...

Both me and my neighbours have conservatory's on the back of the house with a very small gap between the two. Both have polycarbonate roofs so laying boards across would not be an option. The conservatory is about 4.5M wide. All who have come out have said the conservatory would make the job...

My mono mixer tap has just failed miserable in the my kitchen sink. What brand of kitchen taps do folks think are good that are going to last? Found this which looks good value: http://www-1.plumbworld.co.uk/architeckt-comoauris-lever-174-15148 However would I be better spending...

Well had a rep from a bigger Coy out today and even thou I wasn't happy with his quoted price was happy with his breakdown of what was to be done and how it would be done. The first quote was for 2K and he stated that due to the requirement for contract scaffolding to get over the...

Well the plot thickens! Had another quote this afternoon from a local company for £570. Spoke to the Rep at length, this includes removal and fitting of the new UPVC facias, soffits and barge boards. He said they used 18mm for the Facias and 9mm for the soffit boards which if my research is...

Hello, I am after some advice from those in the know or from those who have had this kind of work done to their property. My current fascias, soffits and gable end barge boards are wooden and are in a poor state in some areas. I would like to get them replaced with UPVC and not over clad...
