Thanks Joe-90 but I don't think I have a condensation issue on a patch of wall 100mm square oposite the blown render which has now been fixed thanks to a new patch of render. I believe mine was caused by the fitting of a new window next to the patch, it was obviously blown as it was hollow...

Sorry, I could have explained better. My render looked in no worse condition than in the photos, it's only when I got on a ladder to look at the cracks in my paint work that it was obvious sections that had blown, they were not fixed to the wall, but hadn't moved much, this left a void...

@OP and others, I have had the same problem with render rather than pebble dash. there were sections where the render had blown and being a solid wall and the awful weather this lead to patches of "damp" on the inside. this is not condensation as it was clearly in spots in random sections...

Can we assume you wish to replace the netting with a cover to keep the area within the fencing and netting dry? Will this be above or below the height of the shed roof, or are you not too concerned?

Is this wall free standing or, as indicated by the steps will some of it form a retaining solution as well? is your neighbours garden level with yours? I would suggest that as the damage was caused by your neighbour that they should be paying something towards costs, even if it was to share...

Quick pic of work so far.

From the look of that, one rail is bolted and the other is attached to the bolted rail... what attachement have you used, couple of screws across the foot? length. Thanks again and sorry for the slow reply, been busy digging holes and concreting in the posts...

Thanks r896neo, My posts wont arrive for another few weeks, so I look forward to a photo, may save me a fair bit of effort fitting the halving joints! :D

Thanks for the advice :D I'd happily set the rails at alternating heights, but then I would end up with the rails changing height along the length, and as I am going to end up with the rails on my side, I wanted the rails to be a consistent height. I'll be having the rails on my side as...

Hello, I intend to use a halving joint on a 2x4 rail and bolt this to the concrete fence post by drilling a hole for a bolt to go through the lot. I intend to use large washers to spread the load on the wood side. I have assumed an M12 bolt as the diameter for the holes in the post are 15mm...

Domestic fence work

Great idea, and it'll save me a few quid! Thanks for the help everyone :D

Well then, I hope not to have to replace them for a few more years then :lol:

The intention was 2 planks total, so soil behind would be about 16-17 inches deep. I guess a 4x4 it is then :D

I was hoping that would be the answer... to me they don't look like they have been used really, no marks or stains, just weathered, so was hoping not to treat as the wood looks nice. If they will last a few years on their own, I will save myself the effort. Quick second question, is a 4x4...

I don't know the answer to this question for certain, but I agree that logic dictates it is to set the second post with the rails in place, as bending a rail sounds like a bad idea. I would also suggest that as long as you only hang the rails and support the posts whilst your concrete sets...

Hello, I have been given a load of old (in good condition) scaffolding planks, 1.5 x 9 inch, in 4 meter lengths. I intend to put a waterproof membrane between the wood and the raised soil to stop the soil leaking out and to retain moisture in the bed, and to keep moisture off the boards...
