Hey all I am wanting to buy a fence/shed sprayer but was wondering what would be a decent option to get? Budget say about £50 I know there are lots of different brands and types so I found these...

yes they grip extremely well to concrete/brick

something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STIHL-Chainsaw-MS-170-Brand-New-1-6-bhp-12-bar-30-cm-/262622302727?hash=item3d25825207:g:SVkAAOSwgZ1XryP~

The link to them bolts from toolstation. I think they were originally called thunderbolts or possibly thunderbolt is a brand, Anyway they are the best option i would use as long as the hole to take them is the correct diameter. leigh

As above comment I would buy a Stihl or a husqvarna entry level petrol chainsaw and be done with it. I have a Stihl MS181 and its done everything and more for me. Leigh

Could you not mix some sand in with the pebbles you removed and make a cheap concrete base or at least some sort of base to lay your slabs on, I would also look at getting some of the grids below to extend your shed base life if you have the budget. These are pretty good...

Hello Just a quick one from me. Currently in the middle of building a 3x3m pent shed with decking area. The roof is covered in pressure treated planks 22x150 and I plan to cover the roof with either galvanised corrugated metal sheets or the black onduline bitumen sheets. I wanted to put...

I made a veranda roof last year it was approx 1.5m x 4.0m long. I made my roof in 2 sections 2.0m long as it was heavy to lift if in 1 section, I fitted a few brackets to the house and then offered the roof up one side and rested on the brackets and then used old wood to prop it up while I...

SFK Cheers for that info and I can plan it all out now. I got my 2 weeks off work at the moment (shifts) so in the stages of building the shed. Your explanation is fine I can see what you mean. My lighting down the bottom of the garden reminds me of a football stadium so yes I know how dim them...

Just a quick one if you dont mind 3w might be a bit bright for my needs on the path but I have not purchased anything yet so I was also looking at some 1w decking lights like these...

SFK Thanks for all of that information and effot, I can see you spent time with the links so a big thanks from me. I can see how you did the project, also it looks well thought out. Yea I think low 12V led is the way to go. The bottom of the garden has 3x 10w led flood lights like this but they...

Hello all Not house electrical but garden so hopefully someone can advise. Asking for some advice on a electrical project I have on the go at the moment in the garden. I currently have mains power going into my bottom shed and the plan is to run some 12v garden lighting up a path and into...

Well I have 2x4" treated wood for the framework and 1x6" to cover sides and ends etc, 4x4" posts, Like I said its just to cover the back door and keep the recycling bins dry. 300mm x 3m at my local builders merchant is £48 So im guessing 4.0m would be £70 ish We did look at the square...

Thanks for the reply terrypin So 1.5 metre is to allow for expansion in the summer? and overlap by 150mm? Any other alternatives? At the moment the lead cost as much as the porch :( if I go with something like 250-300mm wide but I see your meaning. cheers Leigh

Hi all We are going to make a small wooden porch at the side of our home, approx 4.0m long and 1.5m wide and I will be using corrugated clear roofing sheets 1.3mm thick to cover the roof of it. The walls of the house are all pebble dash and the structure is stone under that. My question is...

Hello all bit of a long story but will try to explain as best as possible and i am not a tiler just a DIY'er. Ok about 5 years ago I tiled out the whole bathroom up to the ceiling with 600x400mm travertine tiles which took me ages but I did a really good job of it, Also inside the shower...

Hi guys thanks for the tips I think the oil is going to be the best for the hot water and heating as it can just be filled up a few times a year. Is there a valve i can get to possibly switch heating/hot water from oil to solid fuel if we go this route? So for 1 elderly lady what size tank...
