WHY !!! :? :? :?

No, They're what I wouldn't use. They come loose when used on fence posts in my experience anyway. I'd just use a normal wall fixing plug and contersink the hole about 25-30mm into the post, so that a 100mm scew would do. I like the rawlplug UNO ones, I find them superb in most...

And you're calling your mate a cheepskate !! :lol: :lol:

I know that these bolts are good, we use this type all the time for floor fixing. I've never used them through wood though, but I can't see why there would be a problem. I would have said try and get at least 50mm into the wall, but you can achieve that with the 120mm bolts if you...

I like fried eggs :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:

I want to put a couple of nesting boxes in the garden and I have read that they need to face in a certain direction. Could anyone advise what that direction is please ?

Not really sure which screwfix product you mean. Do you mean the hex head style thunderbolt as opposed to the style with the sunked torx head?

Thanks for the link, that explains all. Door now ordered :D :D

Well, if I'm reading all of this correctly, you will only be 12" off the ground at the surface of the deck, so a 6" step would be ok. Just use some of the 6" x 2" Bearer and form a box, fixing it to the front bearer shouldn't be too much of a problem and you've then go the basis of your...

Thanks for your help. does that mean that there is a visible gap at the top of the door viewed from what I would call the outer side of the door? :?

The phrase you used - "You get what you pay for " is certainly true with sheds. They generally appear quite pricey, but for £170 I wouldn't expect too much. I personally wouldn't buy one that I hadn't seen before or at least had a recommendation, but it all depends on what your...

My daughter wants a bi-fold door fitting at her house. Opening is 762mm x 1981mm and the bi-fold door for this ina well known Diy store if 750mm x 1946mm. Is this correct, seems like there's going to be a rather large gap somewhere, even allowing for the fixings ?? :?:

Oh just cut all the foreign aid and put in a fifth lane - bring work to this country and kick start the economy !! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Personally I'd go for 6" x 2" Bearers and use a 1" spacer if necessary, but your way would work.

I'm unable to open your pictures, so I can't see exactly where you are placing the deck. However, you say you want to raise the deck by about 12" and I'm unsure if that's including the height of the bearers or not. Remember that if you use 6" x 2" bearers, with the boards on top you have a...

My apologies to all, I honestly thought that had always been the case. You're not allowed to let waste into the water course though are you ? That was my confusion :wink:

You could burn them as a heat source, that's a form of recycling isn't it ?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

How could I educate myself when you weren't available until now ??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
