Ok, thanks for that Pete. Just one final question! To get round the eaves, is it ok to use 2 x 135deg socket/spigots as i noticed that some diagrams i have seen state the use of 1 x 112deg top and 1 x 112deg bottom?? Does that make sense to you!! Cheers, Gary.

Hi 75pete, Thanks for reply. Do you mean drill all joints to dismantle in sections? Not at property now but is it likely there will be a joint near floor level or will i have to grind pipe and use connector, if so, what connector should i use to join the cast to plastic? Thanks, Gary.
