Use concrete posts specific to the task for chainlink fencing, concreted into the ground.

[/url] Although, this may depend on where in the lintel you are drilling... for instnace, I wouldn't recomend drilling through a rebar in the centre of a lintel. Just a thought...

When using the bleach and water put a polythene dust sheet down (it will be water proof) and then put newspaper or rags on top to absorb the water and bleach, then remove the lot as soon as you are done. This will protect your lawn. As for not having to do it, you could leave it and it...

I know that when I did my fence, speaking to the fencing supplier, they suggested the 3.6m rails as well, but suggested to go over two bays with this length, so that each rail is attached to 3 posts, and each rail join is staggered to the one above or below. This makes the whole fence stronger...

dig up your old turf, put in topsoil and re-turf, this could be done this year in early autumn... gives the turf time to root before winter and avoids the heat of summer!

If the bags are not washed stone then get the supplier to pick them up and deliver washed stone. Stone with fines in is useless for your purpose and sifting out will be time consuming and back breaking work.

Can you provide an indication of what size angle you are talking about? What sort of fence are you looking for, is this slotted posts and pannels or post and rails? Thanks.

For the steps it is! :lol:

It looks like the wooden beam end protrudes out the face of the brick work. this means the end grain is exposed and has drawn moisture in from outside. This has weakened the beam through damp which is why the beam has broken. If you are doing a like for like replacement, you may want to look...

Or worse, snap/chip the leading edge off.

Jeds is spot on here, Rubble skips and soil skips can come in around £95 and £120 respectively, much cheaper than a general £250 skip.

Without sounding stupid :roll: are you only wanting to build a column, or are you intending to do something with this, or attach anything to it. Only ask as this will obviously affect the size of the base.

If you don't want to collect the water, you can simply attach a hose to the tap at the bottom, leaving it open, but this will remove the water from around your shed and stop it rotting or washing away your patio base. Adding the water butt and hose will attenuate the flow, so the flow out of...

The lawn and hedge are easy territory. if you just want lawn, then a bit of care will see it grow back in the dead patches, just needs a bit of TLC. The hedge is manageable by yourself. The fence is easy enough to do with the right tools, but is definitely a diy job. As for your patio...

I have renovated my entire garden, removed old decking, removed old pond. in doing so have removed approx 7-8 skips of rubble. constructed new patio area with steps. replaced 1 fence line with concrete posts and feather edge. now looking to turf and complete a few raised beds and...

As a DIYer i would suggest there probably is a minimum for a tread, you wouldnt want it so thin that it'll crack, and as for the mortar, the thickness is usually down to what is a practicle application for a good bed for your tread. I believe the ammount put down previously would work best...

How deep is your Type 1 footing to be?
