It could perhaps be done without having to lift the panels up high to drop them down between the posts, by setting a post in the ground, installing the gravel board, placing the fence panel in position along with the next post etc etc.

If I had a 6ft panel with 1ft gravel board Id want at least 2.5ft of the post buried in the ground.

Yes I did, the post I actually used to attach to the wall was actually 50mm thick. I used a wood drill bit to bore a 15mm hole about half way through the post (to accept the bolt head and the socket used to tighten the bolt), and then drilled a 10mm hole through the rest of the post for the bolt...

I bought an electric chainsaw from Lidl the other week, cost about £50 and its a great little chainsaw which makes light work of the logs I've been cutting in my garden. I wouldn't expect it to fell large trees, but for cutting up logs it performs brilliantly. The chain stops immediately when...

Thanks for the help,I ended up using Easyfix 10 x 100mm bolts from Screwfix which worked a treat. Drilled a 10mm hole and tightened them up with a ratchet... http://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-concrete-bolts-10-x-100mm-10-pack/5800p

Thanks, think Ill buy a few and try them.

I assume they don't need plugs, just drill the hole and screw them in?

I think the other side of the wall will be the interior of his living room. Maybe we need to use larger hex head bolts and fit them through the wooden post and into the wall, using a ratchet & socket?

Im goiing to be helping a mate fit a 6ft x 3ft wooden garden gate to his house. The gate will be hung off a 6ft fence post (75mm x 75mm) and the post will be drilled/bolted into the brickwork of the exterior of his house. He has some 10 x 135mm frame fixers as below, will these be suitable for...

Plane the panels?

New panels purchased, though they are slightly thicker than the originals they still fit into each other just fine. Treated the new panels, then painted them... Rotten panels removed and shed framework treated with preservative.. New panels positioned into place, then marked out and cut...

I removed the lower panel from my summer house today and cut a section from it to take as a sample to a local local fencing company. The panel came away easily when prised off with a wide bladed tool. They sell an almost identical board and gave me a sample to bring home to compare with my...

If your laying turf then I wouldn't worry about the smaller stones, otherwise you'll be out there all day picking them up, it would be an endless task. When I prepared my soil for turfing I levelled and compressed it with my feet and then I left it a few days to see how it behaved in the rain...

For wired connection for PS4 console, smart TV etc.I don't need them, but whilst all the plaster has been removed from the living room its an ideal chance to install them.

So are we saying that 25mm back boxes aren't usually deep enough for ethernet faceplates, but the bevelled type should be ok? They won't really be see as I'm locating them behind the TV etc.

Sounds good. Would my Cuprinol Heritage Shades Old English Green go on over the top of a spirit based preserver?

Thanks, Ill go get some.

I have the same problem, I've cut down an overgrown bamboo plant to discover it has rubbed against the summerhouse and worn it away. Seeing as the damage is in the lower half of the shed, I assume I need to remove the boards from the bottom up and replace? Also, where would I get...

Well that does make sense. I guess I'd just need to snip off these lugs on the side of the faceplate, so they don't dig into the plaster. They seem to be there to locate inside the plastic back boxes.

These are the face plates and back boxes I have... On the rear of the faceplates there are quite a few plastic lugs next to the screw holes. These lugs mean that the faceplate doesn't fit flush, and the holes don't quite line up correctly. The face plate rocks and wobbles and even...
