This, the gate needs reducing in width accordingly.

I have a cheap digital vernier gauge, use it all the time, probably only about £5 off eBay, not incredibly accurate of course but great for measuring bolt diameter, drill bits etc, wouldn't be without it. But if you've never had a need to own such tools up to now then why would you bother?

Now you know what an oil has to go through!

I wouldn't recommend a wall of such slender timbers or even a shed but just goes to show.

I edited my first post, (added the bit about a drip on the wall ties). Looking back at your other thread if this a new extension then where is the cavity insulation? Or is it internal insulation?

I would fit sheathing on the outside only, then a breathable membrane then vertical battens then your cladding (assuming horizontal cladding). The general public underestimate how strong timber is, I once lived in a brand new house of which it's walls were 25×50 studs (end on yes end on) with a...

Is this the Cavity Trays Retrofit one the Type E Cavitray? Guidance is a bit poor IMO, https://cavitytrays.com/product/type-e-cavitray/ from which the sales blurb states: 'The adaptable hinged upstand automatically adjusts to fit the ‘as-found’ cavity width, providing a snug, secure fit.' The...

Are you building the roof with trusses of some kind? If so you can fix a couple of diagonal braces on the top or bottom of the bottom chord (of the trusses).

Sounds like a load of nonsense to me.

Yes just consider your bracing, perhaps consider some diagonal bracing at roof level too and as above some plywood or OSB sheathing on the ends. What's the exposure like, is it exposed particularly or in between say a fence and the house wall?

Your image doesn't work, you can upload an image directly into the thread.

For what? The vertical pipe?

If the opening has been sound with no sign of cracking etc for several years its reasonable to assume whatever beam has been used was suitable.

Of course it can, look up capillary action. Wind and differential air pressures can play their part too. Any timber cladding is a 'rain screen' not 'rain proof'.

Clearly not. Look up any detail where timber cladding is used on a wall, it will show a vented cavity behind it. :rolleyes:

That looks like it's an opening already that's been boarded up. Peel off a bit of the board near the top and see what you find.

T&G isn't waterproof.

The OP may have been sent customer returns, hence the random box and the slight damage.

On the back of a crap picture and invalid guess off the internet, no wonder the house buying system is screwed in England.

What Dyson model is it?
