    Edging grass

    Hello. Just to say straight away, I’m not a gardener in any way! I am in the process of putting some treated timber flower beds down. I was just wondering if I can put down weed membrane on the grass (I didn’t dig it up before laying the timber. Hindsight and all that), and then putting top soil...

    Wall Lights

    I have 2 of these wall lights. I plan to put them on the wall where I have a space for storage which has a double socket not being used. Can I simply wire the cable attached to the rear (pictured) and into the plug (attached) which can then be plugged into the 2 gang switched sockets? I will be...

    In the process of doing up the garden. I had planned to put some plastic edging, the ones with spikes along this area to put some flowers etc in but I got them and they are rubbish. I have decided to go with 6 inch treated timber. I’m planning on running a string line and putting pegs in and...

    Hello. I am planning to lay a bit of timber as shown and use it as a flower bed. I was just wondering the best way to attach to the concrete? There won’t be much weight and was thinking about these clips as shown in the picture. Any advise would be great thanks

    Clear Varnish For Eggshell Paint?

    I built some alcove and painted it with Eggshell paint. I primed the MDF prior to applying 2 coats of the eggshell. I am finding that it’s a dust magnet and I am constantly having to wipe it down and as a result I fear it may degrade the paint. Do you think I could apply a clear varnish to the...

    Large Rocks Removal

    Hello. I was planning to lay a base for a shed. I dug up the grass and removed about 3 inches of soil only to find these beasts. These rocks seem to be buried deep and tbh I don’t fancy even attempting to try to lift them (not that I could). Obviously the base needs to be even and that isn’t...

    Fence height

    I might go for something like this after all. The only problem is how I would go about fitting it. Would I need to fit a trellis? https://tinyurl.com/yfbb5992
