Ok I've replaced several 9ft high posts, 4" × 4" into concrete. My gawd it nearly killed me removing the old posts. I've attached a photo of the posts set in postcrete. Now they are in the same position as the ones I removed. 2ft of the posts are buried in 12" diameter holes. I've measured 2.8m...

Hi, I'm not sure if this correct group but here goes. My house was built in 2001. It has steps leading to front door. Metal railings either side secured to a stepped wall. Over the first years the steps moved then settled. Which means the mortar between the concrete slab steps and wall aren't...

I'm not sure this is in the right topic but I've recently had extensive work carried out in my garden. New retaining wall, steps, patio and fence. In the gap I've had a much needed 8x4 shed. The shed was delivered and the installers said you should put a mini flow guttering on as the shed is...
