I'm not paying much attention to cost, however you can have a go at working it out yourself: https://www.actavodirect.com/scaffolding-tubes/ The fittings do add up, e.g. long tee is about a fiver: https://www.actavodirect.com/key-clamps/product/clamp-long-tee-104d/ On a budget you'd size it...

Roof straps Was going to shove in a bit of builder's band but then had another idea. These jiffy hangers are the cheapest at screwfix. Note in the picture, 4 screws, not 2 you need to stop the wood block twisting. Always hit them with a lump hammer, it's just not the same with a smaller...

It comes by many names Interclamp, guard rail etc... but you probably know what I mean. I've been planning for some time to try out a garden structure and I thought I'd share what I'm learning along the way. I think the hardest part was figuring out how to put some kind of roof on and I feel...

Yeah, I know it's an old thread, but I felt some extra info was warranted. Many designs assume 50Nm torque so this is a good rule of thumb for a minimum. Unfortunately, corroded bolt threads result in less grip of the fitting for a given torque, so it may be worth going a bit higher if that's...

I've contacted them, they aim to respond in 21 days, so I'll let you know what they say, thanks.

Hi All, If I put a garden building next to a railway and it's taller than 2.5m (and less than 2m from the boundary), how likely is that to get planning permission? Is that something the railway routinely refuses or am I in with a shout? I'm assuming the council would normally contact them for...

Unfortunately neither of those are going to work for me as it's so uneven. I'll just try again with epoxy, maybe a different type. I'll get there in the end, don't worry.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but thought I should share my experiences for others benefit. My attempt with the Epoxyset 105 over the week-end was a total disaster. Maybe it was partly my fault. It's three-part with some aggregate, and then two solutions that you mix together for the epoxy...

I'm sure they are all very nice people, no comment about that! One thing I didn't put down was delivery times which also vary, but for me that doesn't matter, e.g. Actavodirect had a 6-10 day delivery option for £25, others are next-day.

Local has always meant expensive for me. And when you have to ask the price it's usually too much anyway. I noticed all the above online places are based further north, I thought it would be interesting for people to see where they were based, so they can compare the widely varying delivery...
