Yes, I wasn't sure just seemed too obvious/simple/cheap - thought I might be missing something. Thanks.

I've got a Combo (2006) with windows in the rear doors. I want to block these windows as I want to start leaving the odd item (low value) in the van. You can buy blanking plates; http://www.vanlocker.co.uk/vauxhall-combo-rear-window-grilles-blanks-.html But these blanking plates are...

I'm glad I've been on here to check things out. I passed my test before 1997. I'm going to have to look into this a lot closer before I buy something. Thanks to you all.

Thank you very much for your help. Looks like I will have to look at a bigger van.

A braked trailer? I guess a trailer with its own brakes? Probably more expensive to buy, are there any other drawbacks?

I'm a landscaper and I'm looking at buying a van and trailer. I won't need to tow the trailer very often, but when I do I will need to pull about 2Tonne of sand/rubble. Obviously I will need something reasonably powerful like 1.9, or 2.0 litre I guess? Would something like a VW Caddy...

How are they suspended off the ground? Also, is the top of the fence level with the top of the concrete posts. A picture would be good.

Has anyone used this before. I'm trying to widen a small area of a very thin lane near to where I live, I can get Macadam in bags from Jewsons; 1/. Do I need to make a cut along the existing Tarmac where I'm joining it to? At the minute it's all crumbly where the extg tarmac finishes...

Thanks you all very much for your help.

Thanks DBriggs. Can you use the Leica Rugby 280 for outside jobs?

Thanks WabbitPoo. But you're an experienced landscaper. Do you think I would benefit when sorting out my levels for patios etc? Could you see the benefit or would it not be very good for some reason that I can't understand?

This question is aimed at professional landscapers. I'm a young tradesman recently started out on my own, I'm getting more and more outside work. I've got to build a large pergola/trellis outside and was thinking about getting a laser line level to help me with my verticals/horizontals...

I'm going to build a retainer for some plants out of new sleepers; about 4 sleepers high and filled with topsoil. I will sit one sleeper on top of the previous and fix the two together with Timberlock screws. My question, the first sleeper into the ground will sit on a concrete footing...

We've moved into a new build house and have a small area of back garden that was just all weeds, the boys have been playing football out there and the weeds have now all gone (well, the heads have). I have dug it over and removed as many of the weed roots as I can, I would now like to lay...

Thanks for the advice - excellent. 4:1 slurry/grout. Building or sharp sand will be fine I'm sure?

I'm about to build a deck on top of an exisitng concrete slab, I will use bolt down Metposts to hold a couple of posts in place. The exisitng concrete slab is rough and uneven so I will smooth some concrete to form a smooth, level surface for the Metpost to sit on. 1/. I assume I should...

Thanks for this ladylola. Point 3. I wasn't going to tenon the support arms into the posts, I was thinking of just screwing them into the posts and adding the dowels for show. Would this work?

I really would like to build it myself. I can beg, borrow tools. I just need help with my questions.

Thanks cumbriahandyman, very useful video. However, it only answered question number 4. I still need help with my original questions 1,2 and 3. Many thanks.
