I've used Ronseal decking protector(natural finish) on my shed because i wanted it to remain as close in colour to natural wood as possible. i was very pleased with the results. it darkened it very slightly though but the natural appearance is very good.

best bet is to remove all flaking paint. either with a scraper or pressure washer. treat all walls with a fungicidal wash. seal with a proprietary exterior stabiliser/primer then re-paint. The walls were either dirty or dusty when the paint was initially applied. Only a matter of time before it...

you are lucky that the posts have lasted nine years. pressure treated timber nowadays is only good for 5 years if that in my experience!

If the post is rotten at the bottom then the only other way of holding it with out replacing it (which i would recommend) Is to brace it either off the shed or other fixed point with a piece of batten or with a stay driven into the ground away from the base of the post and fixed to the post at...

You could get away with the floor straight onto the frame as long as the cladding of the shed sides overhangs the edges of the ply.The water running down the sides of the shed would run straight down off the deck.

As far as i'm aware there is no control available once the crop has been planted. My advice would be to carefully lift the tubers(if possible) and replant them in new compost. discard the old compost/soil to the dump or somewhere where no suceptable crops are grown

Hi, the flaking paint on our 1930's roughcast house has been pressure washed off which has left approx half of sound paint still attached to the wall and half where there is bare render. is there a paint available that would build up quickly ie few coats to fill these 'bare' patches up to the...

agreed. Use a degreasing solvent to make sure they are thoroughly clean. Remove traces of rust prime then paint or paint with white hammerite which wont require priming.

Might be best to get powdered filler next time which has a longer shelf life and can be mixed to your desired consistency.Regards

If its water based emulsion you are using then thin it down with clean water! This is fine as a mist coat for bare plaster and filler but if the walls and ceiling are already covered with emulsion i wouldn't bother to thin it down its that thick for a reason!
