    Preparing to cover concrete slab with resin bound gravel

    Hi, I have pretty ugly old concrete slab in back garden. Unfortunately I had built deck on top of some parts, and removing it anyway would be a hassle. Instead I'm thinking about putting resin bound gravel on top of it, as it seams it will look both good and function well. The job seems pretty...

    Re-bedding patio slabs

    I wanted to repoint my patio + fix some wobbly slabs. But it turned out a lot of them (23) were actually wobbly and after taking them out, I'm kind of stuck what to actually do. The original mortar was pretty high and applied in "blobs" so I was thinking I should just remove some of it and use...

    Supporting exposed soil under fence concrete base panel

    so basically slap the gravel board in front of the existing concrete base and secure it with concrete mix underneath it? and possibly try to slide the gravel panel under the existing one a little I guess?

    Supporting exposed soil under fence concrete base panel

    that could work, but the fence is street facing, and I need to do it only on 2 panels out of many, so it wouldn't be visually pleasing...

    Supporting exposed soil under fence concrete base panel

    I had decided to remove raised flower bed in my garden, as the wooden supporting edge deteriorated. However I haven't realised that the fence base panels weren't put deep enough, so now if I make the soil level with the rest of the garden, there is exposed soil. And I fear it might deteriorate...

    Roof glass panel installed wrong?

    the panel is currently in the shade, so I need to wait for tomorrow and how for the sun to measure the temp.. However sun is directly shining directly onto standard double glazed windows and they are 33 deg Celsius. And comparing with other objects on the direct sunlight right now I would...

    Roof glass panel installed wrong?

    as the producer doesn't want to speak to me, I can't get more info. But yes, it look like some issue with film that is on the inside side of the outer panel. And I hope this is clear reason for replacement as this shouldn't happen after 4 weeks it put on. I'm mainly interested in the warming...

    Roof glass panel installed wrong?

    Hi, so I got installed warm roof on the conservatory including fancy glass panel . However the glass panel behaves weirdly, as when there is a sun light, it gets very hot in the inside and is basically emitting heat into the room. Also now there appeared some sort of weird blistering on the...

    Concrete deck base or subframe?

    Thanks. I'm still not sure the concrete solution is better, hence the question :) . But maybe you are right and the subframe is simpler. I was just worried about the pedestals being level on the ground closer to the shed, as it is very uneven. To sort it out I though I'll cut a square pockets in...

    Concrete deck base or subframe?

    Hi, I had taken down my green house and want to put there a deck instead. However the greenhouse had concrete base and because is nicely level, I wanted to leverage that in the deck building. As the deck will be bigger (the pink lines on attached images, I had originally planed to use some some...
