The border will follow the fence line all the way around apart from the paved area, because the fence isn’t 90 degrees on that corner we are coming out slightly to achieve the square paved area.
I’m in the process of putting a border around an existing patio, a garden border and also putting in a new paved area. In the attached picture you will see the new paved area in the top right and a drawn red line where the brick border will go around all edges.
As the fence in the top right...
This is what we have opted for. Didn’t realise they were referred to as blue which is why we weren’t getting many results on google. Have got a few and they look like they will do the job nicely.
Any recommendations on sand base or wet mix?
Thanks!
Hi all. We are looking to edge our patio and garden with a single line of grey brick, but we want them butted tightly together, not sand filled like a driveway joint. Would I be right in thinking that engineering bricks are flat on all sides? (driveway bricks seem to have notches to force the...
I need to put some chippings down on the garage extension roof, it’s aprx 2.5m x 2.5m. How deep should I lay it and what sort of chippings/gravel should I use? Existing stuff is white but not a lot comes up to buy that matches this.
Thanks in advance.
I need to replace a washer that fits an appliance outlet at the sink trap. It got distorted on a bad install as can be seen in the pics. Ideally I’d like to replace with another flap type one but nothing I search for brings them up. This is bigger than a 3/4 inch pipe washer from the water feed...
Right so I've run through a few options and I'm looking to cut away some of the arris rail where the water pools and install a gutter to lead to a water butt. However, what I'd really like is a side exit hopper to keep things up and out the way as the water butt will be around the corner. Does...
Yes the original garage roof has white stone chippings on. I didn’t realise that also helped with protection from the elements, so that’s good to know.
That’s an interesting point. Could the problem be down to the fact that ‘top felt’ has not been put down yet? As I understand it there is only ‘underlay’ and a couple layers of blackjack roof repair.
It’s an extension to the garage and that has always had water on sitting on it at the back side so I’m pretty sure that’s not level either. The gutter is at the other end of the garage. If I get the roof relaid to slope towards the existing garage roof it will just sit there, so would it be best...
I rendered a step (1 of 2) last weekend and were wanting to paint it, however the finish isn’t as smooth as we’d hoped even though using plastering/rendering sand. I used a 4:1 mix.
I’ve sampled some ‘external’ filler which I really didn’t like and removing it ha take a fair hit of material...
