    Decking newbie

    Yep I put them down every year and I've even taken to netting it every September to prevent them hatching. The problem is it's surrounded by a high wall one side, garage wall on the other and high fence panels so the sun doesn't really get in there

    Decking newbie

    So after 8 years of struggling with leather jackets, I'm now fed and thinking of decking it. The area is about 16sqm and everything I've been reading online, it seems you can just put membrane down then lay the joists straight onto the ground? I was expecting to have to cement posts into...

    Primer/undercoat

    and not worry on the primer then. Also need to try and sort some bumps out on another but that's a whole different story

    Primer/undercoat

    Kinda yes but looking at it the primer should be just enough to do my 6sqm purple wall and the whole of the room is about 18sqm so might just squeeze 2 coats out of the main colour. I hate painting but thinking cheaper to do ourselves and just a bedroom. Price wise the 2.5l plus 750ml primer...

    Primer/undercoat

    Ah ok thanks, I just read to use a white primer to cover over dark paint but sounds like that's not necessary then Just read some more bits and saying use a cheap white paint first then our chosen colour

    Primer/undercoat

    Only thought that I needed primer or undercoat to cover the dark purple feature wall, which I assume is Matt Emulsion before I put on my new Matt Emulsion white paint.

    Best exterior wood

    If I went with lengths of timber, what timber would I be looking at and would it still need regularly treating?

    Best exterior wood

    Ok thanks I'll take a look. Alternatively I was just thinking I could use the osb sheet that's there as a flat base, removing the peeling bits best I can, and then screw composite decking on top

    Best exterior wood

    Yep I reckon that's what killed our osb. Although painted with fence paint so assumed it would be ok and I see they say seal the edges but I'm not sure what with. So not much difference then between marine and osb

    Best exterior wood

    Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards. Wasn't sure if replace osb worth it or marine ply, reading that both should work. We put a cushion on it to sit, but the wood needs to stay out all weathers

    Best exterior wood

    I've got an old flower bed (1.6m x 0.43m) which we had laid a piece of OSB board on and painted with fence paint. It's started to warp and peel and just wondering if there should be something better we should use to replace it with? Many thanks

    Gas combi pressure query

    Ok thanks. Just noticed the heating has just kicked in again and it went upto just under 3 then dropped back to 2. Odd because had I not randomly opened the cover the other day to have a look I wouldn't have known as we have no other issues that I'm away of

    Gas combi pressure query

    I've noticed over the last couple of days that in the evening, our boiler pressure drops to around 1bar but then in the morning it hits about 3. I first noticed this after I noticed it low one evening and refilled back to just over 1, but then the following morning it was on 3. To confirm this...
