I bought a newly built house nearly 3 years ago, part of a 5 house development. Mine is the first house in a row of the 5 houses and has a back boundary wall and 1 side boundary wall. - The back boundary was a new wall which runs behind all 5 houses, is capped and is not painted. - The side...

Anyone know if you can mix SBR with PVA i.e. put a coat of SBR down over the PVA coated floor?

Would 3mm thick SLC not be suitable as the top layer? What sort of problem could happen if I did not cover it with something else e.g. SLC crack?

Yes i mixed the PVA with water first, the ratio was whatever it said on the tub when used as a sealant. I think it was 4:1.

I priced up the vinyl sheet and it's not that cheap. A good quality one costs about €20-25 per square metre. And I'd require 9m (shed is 3m x 3m). The SLC would cost a fraction of that.

Thanks for the suggestion to use vinyl sheet. Carpet wouldn't be suitable for a shed but I think vinyl should do the trick.

I have a 3m x 3m Steeltech shed in the garden which has a concrete floor. Due to bad advice from the builder I sealed the floor with PVA. On dry days it does the job fine and keeps the dust down. However as PVA (I used Evo-Stik) is not waterproof, when it's raining the PVA sticks to my wet shoes...

I was chatting to a guy who told me removing the PVA would be an absolute nightmare. He said to instead pour down some self levelling compound. With SLC you need to prime it beforehand and can prime it with PVA, so no need to remove the PVA. I think I might go with this option. I never asked him...

Anyone know how much epoxy required for a 3m x 3m (10ft x 10ft) floor?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was chatting to a guy in work who has a concrete shed floor and used a floor paint on it. He said his floor was flaking really bad so was advising me not to use floor paint. He said it was a few years ago when he put the paint down and can't remember what type of...

I got a steel shed in the garden last year. It has a concrete floor. I heard that these concrete floors can get crumbly and dusty, so when the floor was being laid I asked the builder if he had any recommendations on how seal the floor to help keep the dust down. He said to wait 2 months and...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try one of these options.

Ah so that's what they are called. I use them in the gym all the time. Well I used to when they were open.

I've a hanging chair that I want to install in the house. The only really suitable place is off a flat arch between the dining room and sun room. I've attached a photo of the arch where I plan to hang it from. I asked the builder what the structure of the arch is and he said there are 2 RSJ...
