What about something like a right-angle stainless bracket, with a similarly sized stainless plate on the other side and then just bolted? Or if you want to go cheap, even something as simple as this with a washer on t'other side...

Done. Looked into several of the options. Combinations of cost and availability slowly ruled them all out, so there was only one thing left..... Buckets and two mates :P Beer has amazingly persuasive properties!!!!

Can't see that thing getting up a roughly 1 in 2 gradient surely?

It depends on your definition of wet or dry Wabbit! My "fairly dry wet mix" would be about the same consistency as you've described. Plenty people though do it totally dry and just brush it in, that's what I was describing when I said it was naff.

Cheers for replies. Ladylola, Conveyor sounds interesting, I'll see if I can price one of those. Not worried about transformers 'cos I can borrow a box from a relative easy enough. imamartian, Crane would be out of my budget - 3 story house with a garage underneath! Deluks - Combining...

As you say it's 8" by 8", I'd be inclined to pick it up and maybe get one of the kids to hold it for 10 minutes :wink: Seriously though, being a summer house I'd assume a fair bit of glass. It's going to be hard to move it without flexing it somewhere and some (or all!) of your glass...

I'm thinking of paving a rear garden and doing a bit of raised bedwork, which is all fine and dandy but access is a real problem. The only way in - other than through the house - is up a flight of steps at the side of the house about 15 foot high in total. There is absolutely no other access...
