Sorry to but in, but Bobby, i noticed your hose reel, what's it like would you recommend it, as i am after one like that, that is easy to real in :) Thanks

I tried doing the same thing a few years back, made a right balls up of it, it's quite difficult to get level and get the edges to blend if you have a few dips in the floor. I did try to do it all at once, what i should have done was take it in 1-2 meter strips and work your way through that...

Here we go, almost shaped: Well i have shaped the garden to how i wanted it (Thank god). It's now time to put the walls up. Instead of using the round posts, i have decided to use the half cut rounds and put them on posts horizontally, basically easier, cheaper and much more versatile for...

Good point, thanks.

Hi, i will be creating my steps soon and wanted some examples of them as i am not sure how i will want them, i.e sleepers close together, or have a gap with gravel to create a longer step etc. I have a few ideas from goggle images, but wondered if any one here had any they could post? Thanks

Thanks, i have one of those small neumatic drills which does get through the hard stuff, but slowely :) I'll persevere and get down to at least 300mm. Should i have a gap between the posts and earth and put a membrane with pea shingle, like i have read for the retaining walls? Thanks

I have order 4" treated round posts for a 1 meter retaining wall. I have been advised that the best way is to put a dry mix in to set them and batterened them from behind in 1 meter strips (like fences). What i need to know is: 1) With the 4" round posts, how far should they be below...

Have not order yet but will be doing so tomorrow, so could i get some advice please: 1) With the 4" round posts, how far should they be below ground? 2) I have reached the sub-base (solid rocks mostly) where the posts will go into, could i have a small trench say 150mm and build up a...

That Ronseal Decking Oil, is what our neighbors used last year and it really looks good, really improves the appearance. I am sure they had a deal where you buy 2 and get one half price or buy 2 get one free. So worth shopping around

Sorry to be a pain, but i need to order in the materials this weekend. What i need to know is: 1) With the 4" round posts, how far should they be below ground? 2) I have reached the sub-base (solid rocks mostly) where the posts will go into, could i have a small trench say 150mm and...

How steep is the slope? You could always put a row of rolled logs across every 5-6 ft, kind of mini tiering it to keep things in place, or tier it properly?

I doubt it though, probablly, sir do you relise you have built all these houses with voids and you did not put ventalation in? Ermm, here you son (brown paper bag passes by) We need this phase completed ASAP. Probablly why we had a different door, odd tiles, handles etc just to pass...

Well, as i have found out since all my street is having vents installed! They will be doing mine within the next few weeks. How many vents should there be - one either side i would imagine for the air to flow freely? Thanks

Have you uploaded the image to a host? like photobucket or if you have access to your own webspace? Once this is done you click on image and have something like http://www.mywebspace.co.uk/myimage.jpg Hope this helps

No image :) Sound like what i am going to do. if you can get the image up, then we can see :)

Just a quick question on these round posts, how far should they be below gound? Also as i have reached the sub-base (solid rocks mostly) Could i have a small trench say 150mm and build up a shutter on ground level of 200mm? So 150mm foundation below ground and 200mm above? Also I will...

If you can spend the exta i'd go for the reed type screening (think that's what it's called) - As the Bamboo look rubish after a while, I had my entire garden wrapped in the stuff, and it looked really good at first, but then it started going brital and dis-coloured. Cheers

Voila - Lower terrace is level (at last):
