I don’t think I can tamp it. The grids are filled now and the soil under is so solid it won’t budge. I’d have to lift all the grids and gravel. I didn’t think it was much either but it’s a very heavy workshop and vertically clad so when they put the 2 long wall pieces up they were pulling...

I’ve just seen that Setcrete Exterior is referred to as non structural. Guess that means I shouldn’t put a heavy building in it at point loads via the bearers.

I ordered a 14x11 workshop to be installed in my garden. I told them I’d be installing an eco base and they said ensure it’s flat but agreed it’s ok. I’ve used those bases before but never this size. I assumed the bearers they were using would cover any small discrepancies in the base. Over...

Cheers... Will give it a go.. worse that happens is it cracks and I can fill, or replace... its only small.

Cheers.. any need to tape the joints if have a right angled joint between them. and presume best to have a full wood frame to support all 4 sides to prevent movement? Whats the right way to attach lath to the board?

I thought they were the same thing? "In a construction environment the STS fibre cement boards offer extensive fire protection, whether you are using as a high spec fire wall system for party walls or something simple like a backing board for a woodburning stove or boiler."...

Hi, My first time at trying to render. I am building an outdoor kitchen. Contractor built the rear and side walls in block and rendered in sand and cement. I am building front walls in block that will have doors in them to create cupboards either side of the bbq. Plan is to render in same...

Thanks. I had been looking at the iprox as well, but failed to see the external keypad option. Surprisingly hard to find many options, other than some very cheap and unreliable sounding ones on amazon. These seem to be best looking options. Any one experience of them, or have other...

What I thought would be a simple search for an external keypad turns up that they don't seem to exist for alarm panels So I'm looking for some advice. I have a side gate with an electronic lock controlled by my texecom elite which is connected to the Panel output that I control by the phone...

Hi, I have just upgraded my Elite 24 metal to v4 and installed the Smartcom and got the mobile app all running. However my home automation system that used to connect via the ComIP cannot connect via the SmartCom IP address and port. I am guessing that it doesnt allow other connections. I had...

I have put the micro contacts on bifold doors that are often left open for the evening. It seems to be draining the battery really quickly. Should these be on hybrid? Have had them on auto, or is this not possible with ricochet devices? thanks

It might take a little while to come through, if not, try with a company name entered as well, if you didnt last time. You can then download the manual and software from the website.

One last question... am I supposed to do anything to the conduit once installed? The pipe vice has left a few marks and in a couple of places there is a mm or 2 of exposed thread. Do I need to spray anything? Thanks.

I tried this a few times on the unused zones, but going via the Learn Ricochet menu which didnt do anything. But going to the zones on the Zone Setup menu, it double beeped at the double reset press and then all good. The contact learnt straight away. All good. Thanks out of interest, on...
