    Red Cedar Horizontal fence with concrete recessed posts

    Thanks! So that extra vertical board would need to be mounted on a frame do you think attached to the stud which is attached to the concrete post. Like a double picture frame. Or is there another way to stabalize that middle post that I'm missing?

    New Flat Roof - Lead vs. Rephanol

    Ah interesting Tipper - thanks you for replying! Is that a fibreglass product? Google images make it look nice, just what Im after. However I had read bad things about fibreglass 'banging' when it gets hot/cold. Have you lived through all seasons with it? Is it above a room you inhabit?

    warm roof vapour barrier

    Thank you! So if we use just a plastic sheet type vapour barrier, how do we fix it without piercing it and compromising it? or do we just screw through? We are using staifix super 8's. I've been told the reason for the bitumen based one is because its self healing when you screw through. I...

    warm roof vapour barrier

    Realised yesterday we've ommitted to take care of adding a vapour barrier in our new flat warm roof construction. Its not yet built but will be in the next few days so I'm under pressure! Our original plan was to use 120mm ecotherm and tape the joints but this doesn't look sufficient. Can...

    New Flat Roof - Lead vs. Rephanol

    No new deck, as we have a new warm roof going on ahead of that. However I assumed labour and Vat would be a big chunk of that price no? Think we've been put off rephanol anyhow - the likelihood of it looking a bit ****, looks quite high! Realised we can't have lead as we don't have...

    New Flat Roof - Lead vs. Rephanol

    Ahh brilliant - thank you. I hadn't considered it. Just Googled and it looks nice. Does Zinc go a funny colour after a few years? Or am I just thinking of copper - Grand designs springs in my head. Would you likely know an approx cost per m2? We have around 21m to cover.

    New Flat Roof - Lead vs. Rephanol

    Trying to decide on what to cover our flat roof with. It will be visible from our bedroom so I want to make sure it looks nice so was looking at either lead or Rephanol. I've been quoted 90 pounds m2 fitted for Rephanol. However then started to investigate and saw some applications dont look...
