Thanks for the replies guys. I think for the boundary fence im going to do it double sided as the pickets/wickets dont cost much anyhow. On a related note what is the difference between picket and wickets? My fencing supplier calls them wickets so I was led to believe pickets are the smaller...

Heres some pics that hopefully show the situation. Ive also just realised I posted this in the wrong forum though its still related to roofing I guess.

In normal fencing terms I show the neighbours the "nice" side of the fence. Is this the same logic for wicket fencing? Thanks

Im wondering if I can change the frame design of my roof to allow more space in the loft. Its a good size and you can stand up in it. However there are some rafters in the centre that use up alot of the walkable space. If I doubled up the others and added a load of new braces to triangulate the...

About 6-8 sheets of 9.5mm plasterboard, some scrimm tape and filler. Oh and long plasterboard screws. A stepladder and a few glances in the loft (if it is an upstairs room) or use stud detector. So under £60 of materials but maybe a day or two of labour depending on the builder and depending on...

I own 35 chickens and have them spread out accross 3 seperate runs. We have 2 metre high enclosures with meshed tops and meshed sides. Then welded square mesh from ground upto about a metre tall (double meshed basically). There is a 40cm deep concrete trench going all the way around and gravel...

Great, cheers John. Sounds like thats what I need. Although keyed alike bike chains would be even better.... best of both worlds. The gates I have to lock are the black wrought iron types.

Ive just realised that keyed alike seems to be multiple keys for one padlock. I need almost the opposite, 3 padlocks that take the same key but obviously to have a spare key also. I'll keep searching if not i'll revert back to the bike lock idea. I also like the 5 digit combination bike locks...

Ah brilliant. Thats exactly what I was looking for originally but didnt know the search term. I even tried buying 3 cheap poundshop locks in the hope theyd be the same key but even theyre all different. Words of the day.... resettable and keyed alike :D

If the toolstation doesnt work out then I shall take your recommendation on the abus. Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know how they perform.

Thanks SFK. I think resettable is the search term I was missing. I kept searching for changable. Those options are good but a little bit more than I wanted to pay as I know the technology behind these is cheap. I have bought some for just under £2 each that said in the instructions they can be...

I have 3 metal side gates down the side of an outbuilding. I need to lock these but without a key. So I was thinking a bike combination lock but all the ones I have viewed on ebay seem to be set codes and cant be changed. Anyone know some that are changable? I have already bought 6 bike locks...

A pen that you'd dip in ink... or a victorian coke sniffer

Try using a potentiometer

I thought the PD rules state 2.5m high on flat roof and 4m high on a pitched roof if more than 2metres from a boundary?

Hi all, Im thinking of putting 1 or 2 shipping containers in a small field for use as storage. Do I need planning for this? I would choose green ones as to not annoy the locals. Also what kind of footings/foundation do these need? Should I put them on beams so they have airflow underneath? Any...

We have a few chickens and get a few rats now and then. I would like to curb this black plague by getting some rat bait but have noticed the laws have changed. Does anyone know where I can get it now? I do have a CPH number if that can help me buy some. I was getting a bait called raco off ebay...

The other thing I just thought is maybe grease on the walls made the finish come out patchy. Did you clean and sand the walls prior to painting? Maybe give that a try... sand then clean or clean sand then clean again.

All I can think is it wasnt mixed properly or enough passes with the roller made. Someone else might have some other suggestions though.
