So the existing block paving will end where the decking ends so the thought process is that sitting on the edge of the paving would make it vulnerable at that end as its gonna go straight from decking to play bark. Which is why I was thinking of using one of the two methods to secure the middle...

Yes it is. It's currently block paving, and a slight slope and we're decking over it. But raised it up a few cm to match the conservatory height

Good point regarding the treatment. Yeah span tables I read point to it being borderline within at actually 2.8m but I don't really want the bounce. Under it is block paving on a slight slope so could potentially use that to my advantage so dig down for the end beam and use 5 posts cemented...

Thanks for the reply. It's 4x2 tantalised/c24 timber for joists and beams. I've attached pic of birds mouth (if thats the right terminology). So gonna do this so the weights carried by the timber and not a bolt I'm just not sure how many supports to do for the end beam. For the center...

So building some decking off the back of my conservatory and wanna run the design by you more experienced guys and ask leg and support intervals... - 4.5m wide x 2.85m projection - Slight slope so raised about 5cm off the ground one end and about 20cm the other end. - One end is gonna be a...

52cm high dwarf wall. Concrete blocks laid flat. Roof is timber. Rest is glass. Doesn't need to be megs efficient but just wanna hold some heat for a small period when we use it.

It has 3 outside single skin dwarf walls. Outside is a waterproof breather and pvc cladding. Inside though, one wall is too close to the house door to offer any battens greater than 25mm.... is no air gap gonna be catastrophic if I use 25mm insulation? Or should I just vapour barrier and clad...

Haha its funny you say that as I posted previously a question about my ledger board (not on here) and got beasted for using m12 on it so removed them and upped it to m16. I've just ordered some high tensile galvanised m16 stud and resin as well so will be drilling 18mm hole now. . They are...

Also does the resin have to be used on specific studs or can I use it with the anchors I have? Has anybody on here used it before and if so did you do it with the material in situ or did you do it with the material being mounted removed?

I'm fairly confident they are not air bricks tbh as I'd feel it when drilling in. And also looking at the rubble removed from where a patio door was cut below the ledger.

Thank, I think thats what I'm gonna have to do. The ledger is already in place with a few anchors that seemed to go in perfect so can they be installed in situ? From what I gather I can just insert the nozzle through the timber in to the masonry hole and fill it up, then insert the stud and...

Thanks For all the replies guys. As usual you guys are amazing and helping a keen dryer. Just need to get my timber roof on so I can make use of the conservatory. So I think I found the issue. The bricks I believe are fly Ash bricks (correct name?) so anchor bolts I suspect I just causing it to...

Used a 16mm drill piece in to brickwork. All that happens is the whole anchor pulls back out instead of just the tapered but in to the side. Instructions say 16mm hole. What do you reckon try a 15mm hole or am I missing a trick?

Sorry should have gave some context. 9 degree lean to flat roof so deadload is osb and rubber roof and obviously implied load from weather and elements (uk). Carrying 23 joists spanning 3m. But gonna have 2x vertical 3x2 cls support beams doubling up as battens

Attaching a 4.8m 6x2 to the house wall. Was gonna use 400mm spacings to coincide with the joists. But what anchor bolts should I use and what size please? Is m12 sufficient or do I need to go bigger? Looking at these...

Hi guys Looking for some advice on the following please. For context, it's a 7 degree timber lean to roof on conservatory. 6x2 wall plate and 6x2 joists spanning 3.06m. Wall end using a ledge plate and joist hangers. Conservatory end bird mouthing on top of a 3x2 ring beam and 90degree angle...

Are this sort of thing suitable... rawlplugs...

Using 6x2x 4.7m wall plate with joist hangers to carry 13 6x2 joists on a 9 degree slope. Landing on a 3x2 ring beam on top of conservatory. What bolts is recommended... i understand on to brick it needs bolting every 400mm.. does that sound about right? I'm assuming coach bolts... How deep in...

Just wondering what size header I should be using and what bolts and spacings for installing it. The roof will be approx 10degrees spanning 3.1m and a width of 4.7m. The 4.7m header will be attached to a brick house wall and will be using 6x2 @ 400mm spacing attached to the header with hangers...

Thanks all. You lot have been great in offering advice and guidance for our DIY project
