    Flooring for shed

    another thing to keep in mind iff the door is on the long wall it may not be possible to get a 2000x 1220mm in if it requires to go in at an angle into a corner and there is not the space to manipulate as in the diagonal is greater than the length so just check first before cutting

    Flooring for shed

    is the 2mx1.8 external or internal floor size?? the only reason i ask is if its external wall size and you have say 12mm cladding and 70mm frame that reduces the floor area by 164 so 1836x 1636 so 3sqm where as a 2.440x1220mm sheet is 2.9sqm so full length at the door odds and sods at the the...

    Cordless drill

    worth keeping in mind just because its sold in the uk on an internet platform does not mean it has any protection at all for example it can have a gtee it can have a ce mark it can have a returns policy but not within uk law so ce mark just means "china exports" the gtee will have no uk...

    Stairgate needs strength...

    in my humble opinion, the only solution that will add enough strength is first and last spindle and base rail to be welded as one from steel and screwed into the handrail rebate with large tabs anything else relies on the rigidity off 14 small [compared to length and large...

    External Door Brace

    to be honest a sealed door is very very different to an open door/gate where all planks expand and contract freely unconnected to each other so any slack on the joints will sag lock side when you have txg in contact and well painted it acts more like sheet material so gives excellent bracing so...

    Joining Scaffold Boards

    other general thoughts gluing edges is almost against the rustic look as in you cant sand the surfaces flush as it removes any texture loose full length 6mm[5.5mm]ply tongues in a 6.35mm routed groove is perfect as it allows plus or minus 0.5mm character between planks if you want to tie...

    Concrete gravel boards for raised beds £

    normal would be brick/sleeper/block for this job as a freestanding structure on a relevant foundation like slabs or even just soil as the oblong shape in general gives sufficient support

    Joining Scaffold Boards

    other points for scaffold boards allow enough spare so you can plan to cut off the ends iff that is your preference rather than trying to lever off as damage will happen Easiest way to de-band is cut off the board about 25mm before the band starts and cut down each side about 15mm in from the...

    Joining Scaffold Boards

    another point the boards will have to be partly de-banded on any 2 mating faces or iff a 2-3mm gap between loose boards is a problem its also worth keeping any spare bands as you can jazz up shelf front faces or fix to the supporting brackets as 2 examples

    Joining Scaffold Boards

    keep in mind unless they are feature brackets, they will stop perhaps 50mm short off the front face so when selecting boards to join together make sure its a full width board at the front face to give greatest support also unless the edges are planed to clean full boards are 227mm/9 inch so...

    Lean To Shed From Garage to Fence

    Because its triangular, the roofline at the fence will start above the fence at the back and only touch the fence as it gets to the front or you have to slope front to back on the garage edge so it hits the level off the fence plus perhaps 50mm to give you the slope might be easier to orientate...

    How to install a railing on these steps

    to me the bit visible below the bottom tread at an angle looks exactly square the one above looks perhaps 20mm longer suggesting a tread perhaps 15mm thick can be added to give equall riser /step distances
