Thanks. The bamboo is fine it just doesn't add that much pirvacy. So I was thinking about some form of sheeting or opaque netting that I could staple to the slotted fence to make it private then I would put the bamboo over it. If that makes sense?

Hey guys, Bought some "Bamboo Screening" to try and minimise the lack of privacy between some slotted fencing but it doesn't quite cut it. Here is the fencing.. Here is the bamboo screening... I was thinking of something like a waterproof sheeting of some description that I could staple...

Thanks mate. I just didn't feel I needed to do it as come Winter I will open the outside tap and shut-off the water supply anyway.

I think my addition to it actually took the bad look off it lol

Thread update. Decided to go ahead and install the outside tap myself. Here is a before and after of the internal pipework: I didn't use a separate double-check valve as the outside tap came with one built in now I appreciate that this may not be acceptable for the latest regulations but...

Thanks for the helpful info. I’ve taken it all onboard. What would you replace the plastic Y with?

Here is an awful rough sketch of what I propose lol https://i.imgur.com/tisk9Vv.jpg T into the 15mm plastic pipe with a speedfit T (yellow). Red signifies copper pipe. Speedfit elbow (yellow) to copper pipe (red). Then isolation valve (green) to copper pipe to double check valve (blue) to...

Hi mate, do you remember this thread? https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/need-a-feed-for-outside-tap.465578/page-2#post-3715005 I've decided to get round to it and wonder if I may ask another piece of advice? Here’s an image of the pipe work under the sink. https://i.imgur.com/bNJhd87.jpg...

Cheers mate. One last thing that has sprung to mind. The blue and red pipes are for the washing machine and dishwasher but what prevents the backflow of water as there are no check valves used?

Guys where would you cut into to take a feed for an outside tap?

Thanks guys. Looking into ordering parts for outside tap.

I’d looked at that but was thrown when it said in description: Description Universal Tap Connector with Adjustable frame For most of Taps With Square end My tap has a round end. Guess it’s worth a punt all the same.

Apologies. Just the stand hose connection. Hozelock Hose end connector (12.5mm & 15mm) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000TAUEMA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_.5nmBb04G6SWD

Been looking online and reading mixed reviews on various connectors and am wondering has anyone got a tap like this and found a connector that works? Thanks in advance

Just for future reference should anyone encounter this problem. Matt can be painted over Soft Sheen without any unnecessary prep work. Both paints are water based and thus compatible with each other. The difference is that the Soft Sheen has a bit more “vinyl” added to it to make slightly more...

Hey guys, Between a mixture of stupidity and not paying attention I touched up my mum’s sitting room with a soft sheen instead of the Matt. It dawned on me quite quickly and thankfully I didn’t continue. Can a waterbased white undercoat be used to save sanding? Don’t want her stuff converted...

Big thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Hey guys, Quick one for you pros....why do monobloc flexis have different taps ends on them? I notice that one has a longer stem than the other.
