Hi, I'm on my second one of these now. The bracket is too weak over time and breaks in the bend. hopefully as shown in the picture. https://www.howdens.com/kitchens/kitchen-fittings/cabinet-fittings/brushed-aluminium-towel-rail-obj-sku-family-hyh1190 The ideal solution would be for the...

No. A tumble dryer. It has a vent at the back and is only used with the door open

If you saw the Ivy growing over our brick walls from the neighbour then you might change your mind!

Looks awful and can make a house look shabby? Just my opinion of course.

Pressure washer or a broom with a bucket of water and washing up liquid.

I just need it matching the the shed. I dont think the shed wood will fade anymore.

It's funny you should say that as I was just thinking I really should treat it based upon previous comments above and now the weather is getting better. Do I need a stain or a preserver? How much in quantity? Oh lord, I guess I will need to take the door off after all then to stain it.

Mrrusty you haven't seen my DIY skills! I used my cheap wickes planner enough to make the door as 'sticky' as I could bear and the dry weather has helped even more recently so it's shutting and closing better now albeit a bit stiff. Dreading the summer I might have a gap!

'Given that you don't want to take the door off, you could sand/plane the door sill' - I thought I would limit my DIY damage just to the door rather than spreading the love? I gave up the idea of using a biscuit thingie to take a cm off. I think I'll just sand some more tomorrow but I dont...

Well sandpaper didn't do much so I bought a 10 quid stanley planer which has got rid of the sticking points all around except the bottom of the door where there's no room to plane. Reluctant to take the door off yet to plane. Clearly, can see the middle part of the door is lower as there's...

That is a good idea. I'll try the sandpaper first. I dont think much needs to come off to start making a difference and if the door isn't treated then what odds right? Thanks

No it doesn't as someone pointed out previous. We were leaving it to fade to match the rest of the shed and just left it out as you do. Hence why it isn't precious! Just a bog standard howdens door I think. Any thoughts on the tool I need? Starting to think there may be a drill to do this rather...

Thanks. Quite willing to short cut at the moment. If push comes to shove then I can find a new door in the summer. The door isn't treated anyway

Sticking more at the bottom, did the chalk trick as John said. I reckon if I could shave a few mm's off the bottom of the door more on the inside and in the middle then that should help. With this thought, I remembered a guy came round our house after we had carpets fitted with a tool that he...

Cant say I noticed the label! The entire shed has cladding around it that almost goes to the ground. There's a bit of a gap. My builder for something else (not this garden room/shed) said that there would be inevitable splash back from rain bouncing up. The cedar panels aren't treated as they...

More pictures. Actually I think it's sticking more at the bottom first. I have taken a picture where the door stops as you push it in as well. The door is a howdens basic door I think. It has weathered in a year but looks more in keeping with the cedar panelling.

Hi, The door on our new shed/garden room is becoming impossible to open this year. Last year was okish but I guess we have had a lot of rain. I'm going to pull the handle off soon! It seems to be sticking around the handle area so I'm thinking about filing the inside of the door down a bit so...

Yeah my house isn't normal though. Full of odd corners and solid breeze block walls. I'd die for cavity wall insulation.

There'll always be moisture indoors even in minimal amounts with the heating on as moisture is created as Notch7 agrees. I've taken all steps to minimise it as much as I can. I just need to change the chest of drawers in the boys' bedrooms so they don't end up smelling musty. I'm just wondering...

JohnD - Water isn't coming from anywhere. It's just condensation forming on the colder walls.
