    Line post

    I want to erect post, the top of which will be an anchor point for a line (similar to washing line) I can bolt post to a brick wall, with 1.2m of post extending above top of wall. Loading (line pull) would be at 90 degree to wall. I could use a 50x 50 treated timber, my concern is whether it...

    Product not performing as required - Bricklights

    I bought 12 Brick Lights from TLC IP44 lights (as in first pic) Due to other projects had only fitted 3 ... and while they are dry and serviceable 'inside' the outer grill (only part on show) is VERY badly corroded. I live aprox 1km from the coast, so there is salt air, but I expected much...

    I will follow Aquamix manufacturers advice on calculating what strength to use, I’ll also follow your suggestion to check how much I use to fully water … together provides best approach. I’ll only do this once though just so I have a guide.

    Update ... Aquamix support now responded - thought I'd post it here for help for anyone else.... With the Aquamix setting to 1%, it draws 10ml of concentrate into 1 litre of water. To ultimately have 1g of dissolved granules in 1 litre of water, the 10ml drawn in must contain 1g of granules...

    Just checked .. flow rate is 8.8L/min, but to be honest It's not that critical, as long as 'mix strength is right' I'll simply water it in. So In practice though that is what happens you water until all soaked, without ponding. Agree if a I used watering cans it would be a know volume of mix...

    Any mathematicians here ? Thinking of using a High Phosphours feed for my lawn. I want to apply from constant ratio applicator (Aquamix) which I can set to 0.2% / 0.5% / 1.0% / 2.0% ... that is the % of liquid feed to water. The feed is in soluble granules, so I would need to pre-mix with...

    Over-Painting steel tubing

    This is under a year old …. I bought it after ‘rave reviews’ …it’s solid construction but poor finish. Can’t afford to lay out on replacement, hence wanting to ‘touch up the paint’. The top section slides into lower section with little clearance, plus it rotates. So no option to use a thick...

    Over-Painting steel tubing

    It's annoying that product is less than a year old, and is intended for outdoor use and the paint finish not up to it. As it's only failed in places I don't want to strip the whole lot back to back metal.
