By herrigbone I'm going to assume that you mean diagonal. Trying to get those diagonal cuts looking good next to the mirrored piece is going to be extremely tricky. My main concern would be to have those diagonals as substantial as possible (i.e TILE centre) to avoid the fiddly, scrappy corners...

I used a mitre saw down to 15mm and then hacked-out down to 20mm joints in C24 4x2 with a Ferrex (Aldi) palm router Worked fine Regards Tet

I'd make a platform with trestles or pallets about 2'6" off the ground as a halfway house for one end and then take the other end off the lorry. £20 for the delivery driver will buy a lot of goodwill! Moving it after delivery will likely cost you a crate of cold beer and some pizza for a bunch...

Thanks for the reply. Short of taking the whole thing apart (that I could do as it was built to be demountable for the planners) what is the practical downside of? plywood + vapour barrier + insulation (stud layer) + breathable membrane + vertical battens + horizontal battens + cladding. The...

Hi All, I have an outbuilding that I've built and now want to improve the inside. I appreciate that I may have done this a little back to front These are some of the photos from the build. It's a mixture of brick wall, brick pillars, a timber "ring beam" and a noggined 4x2 roof at ~600...

I saw Charlie Diyte review on youtube of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GeeFix-Plasterboard-Cavity-Fixings-Anchors/dp/B0196MJM8S Review here: These look seriously impressive and are my current thinking for my new (as yet unbought) TV bracket to go with my new (as yet unbought) TV Regards Tet

Hi Guys, A little bit of angle-grinding and some bolts to attach - I'm all done Thanks for all the help - really appreciated Regards Tet

Hi All, Update: Gate superstructure is hung and solid. I have a slight issue that I could do with a sense-check. (Old lap is on temporarily) The hinges that I have bought have a small semi-circle on the inside of the hinge that actually stops the gate opening as much as I would like. Would...

Big fan of gabion baskets. This was a temporary install Now planning it's much bigger brother to fill this gap in a single sheet. You can get 12' x 6' sheets of 2" galvanised mesh for £82 Regards Tet

Job is finally finished. I moved away from the side mountedpoint fixings to a side mounted channel. I wholeheartedly recommend FH Brundle - the quality of the kit is outstanding and the advice I received was priceless. All in materials cost was less than £1,100 Regards Tet

I've two of these trays, one white and one slate grey. Do you have a link for the stainless catcher? Slightky funny story - my installer put the wrong colour drain in the showers - they ain't coming out so it looks like a bit of strategical spray paint for me! Regards Tet

The wall is rendered render-board with an air gap over battens and timber frame. The soffit is 18mm ply on C24 6x2 rafters - would make a far superior connection Regards Tet

I'm looking to find a cranked aerial bracket but a simple "L" shape I have a 200mm soffit and a 150mm guttering, so I was wondering whether I could buy just the brackets and an L-shaped support and affix them to the underside of my soffit (18mm ply and I can probably find a joist) Does...

Yep - Got these https://tradefit.uk/products/adjustable-hook-and-band-hinge-set-for-gate-and-garage-doors-black-750mm Regards Tet

I think that I'll go for the no-cost cable support version. I'll post a pic when done Thanks to all for the assists Regards Tet

I may have mis-read the various pieces of advice.... Adding another tensioner bar to the gate would be very pricey (see new sketch), more like £150+. Can I achieve the same result using wire rope. I already have a load of 3mm stainless wire plus all the fittings (though mabe the eyes aren't up...

Hi Y'all Here's my new shopping list: 2 x1m stainless M10 rod https://www.fhbrundle.co.uk/products/5006TR10X1__Studding_Threaded_Rod_M10_x_1_Metres_Stainless_Steel_316 x 2 £15.12 2 x Stainless Hex Sleev M10 Connector https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111651567972?var=415941696131 £7.63 (for 2)...

Thanks for your comments. I attach a more comprehensive sketch. Right-hand post cannot take any lateral load but will have at least two bolts or latches. Left-most 6" post was put in the assist with the lateral load on the central 8" post, braced with 4x2's Weight-wise I think that the gate...

Update: Thanks for the assist so far. Posts are in, timber and hardware acquired. This is the latest: I've blown up the construction for critique. 100mm c24 timber with glued and screwed dado joints to 25mm depth 100mm from the ends to retain the structure of the cross beams I'm absolutely...
