Then councils wonder why peeps flytip.

"Active internal strength" there's a new term!

If it's in bags you can the run it to your tip if necessary.

Designing to standard brick format is all well and good, but half decent brickies will get the dims you want.

As above but I'd say go for the fulll length posts and concrete gravel boards for maximum life.

As I can't work up enthusiam to dig out my old laptop to access Superbeam I can't answer accurately but I would guess at a 203 UB which is available in 102 & 133 widths and a variety of weights

No: B##### Baffles Brains

This niumber must vary though: smaller if heavily loaded, bigger if driving fast due to centrifugal forces (ever seen dragster wheels close up?) All very academic.

"The guy made it sound like it, but he would, wouldn't he? I'd have checked them out in more detail if I'd been thinking of giving them an order." Jusr remember the BBB principle.

You really need whoever has specced the beam to finish the job. Would seem rather a beefy beam though.

That would be a con. You want 300mm to match current standard.

The felt is only a secondary layer: insurance really. Many old houses had none and had healthier roofs as a result because they could breathe, Traditional felt was bitumen based and that's what you can see with what looks like breathable membrane (what we now use) over the top. So yes it's...

I'd have thought 2 big bags of sharp sand and 10 bags of dust. Blue circle was £8.50/bag at B+Q yesterday and bulk bags £78 and £30 home delivery. So your £390 is a bit strong and a proper local merchant would probably be cheaper.

Not quite answering your question but wouldn't the cheapest option be to use what you've got and redo the patio in crazy paving. Takes time to get it good, but you have that. You'd just need sand and cement: an existing patio is likely to be pretty stable underneath so I'd not get too stressed...

I think you just have to be a bit patient: ready mixed dries out to set and the substrate is less porous than a plastered wall. Fo good or ill I've over tiled many times, in fact 1 wall of our last bathroom (40 years residency) had 4 layers. In my defence it was a pretty thin wall and the...

The chances of the beam being continuous is small but the chances of it being man enough to then span double the distance is infinitesimal. If the span doubles the beam stiffness needs to increase by a factor of 16 to carry the same loads. Personally I wonder why peeps get so vexed about flat...

Or use a CAD program if you have one

Is it not just a case of lifting the box at the back so the flap can go down over the black nib forward of the handle? Maybe a bit of debris built up and stopping full seating.

You wouldn't normally bother

Isn't the real bottom line how many miles do I actually drive for each pound I spend on diesel, petrol, lpg, electricity, chip oil or whatever? Or hydrogen if JCB have their way.
