I would +1 for a plunge saw, rather than a simple circular saw. Since I bought my (DIY focussed) Parkside plunge saw 3 years ago, I have not...
Preservative following by decking oil.
Ultimately I would say it will come down to the quality of the timber in the first place. Given we're talking 12.5mm thickness, my initial sense...
So as a bit of background, I often like to over-engineer anything that I've put my mind to building, so similarly when building my shed, went with...
Appreciate that this is a fairly old thread resurrection, but the question seemed to fit best here. I'm using a Wagner W690 HVLP system with...
Hi all - and firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place but hopefully addresses my question! We've recently had a loft conversion done, and...
Firstly thank you for the quick reply 23vc! Whilst I would agree that overall, he's actually done a pretty decent job, it's those two points...
Good evening all, We are currently in the process of having a loft extension. First the good news - the plastering in the actual loft space and...
I've had good results with Barretine's Premier Wood Preservative (which comes in clear - it really has a *very* slightly reddish hue to it),...
I'm sorry to hear of the issues Mugabes - re-affirms my own decision to go ahead and build my own last summer! That being said, I'm curious as to...

Another option would be to use the cold felt adhesive, but also use thin timber strips over the top, held down with clout nails. Truthfully, I'm...
Good evening all! I'm shortly looking to put up a new fence *above an existing wall* in our front garden. -BACKGROUND INFO- The (single brick)...
I've unfortunately had a different experience - I bought the Evolution mitre saw, and got truly fed up over its inability to cut consistently at...
I would be wary of sloping the decking *towards* the wall, just in case this encourages damp (in a perfect world, this wouldn't be an issue, but...
Are your main beams definitely 4x2? They look as though they might be 6x2 from some of the pictures, but hard to say for sure. Just wanted to...
