I had some leftover fence boards and decided to build these which I am planning to paint and hang on an ugly bare masonry wall outside. They’re heavy enough at about 14lbs each. I was just wondering if anybody had any recommendations of how to fix or hang them as I don’t have a clue and what...

Hello. I had 2 small sheds on these 2 small areas. It was previously grass but I dug it up and used gravel grids to lay the plastic sheds on. My question is, can I use the existing soil that is there to plant grass seeds in March or should I fill it with new soil? Thanks in advance.

Got one of these last year and I have stupidly lost the key. The seller is sending me a new lock and 2 sets of keys but I obviously need to get this opened in order to fit the new lock. Any ideas of ho I would go about it? Thanks in advance

I had this little wall built and I want to fit a black wrought iron gate. The wall at its smallest width is just under 85cm. Here is what I think I need to attach it to the bricks and I was just wondering what size of gate I need based on these? Thanks in advance...

Hello. Just to say straight away, I’m not a gardener in any way! I am in the process of putting some treated timber flower beds down. I was just wondering if I can put down weed membrane on the grass (I didn’t dig it up before laying the timber. Hindsight and all that), and then putting top soil...

I have 2 of these wall lights. I plan to put them on the wall where I have a space for storage which has a double socket not being used. Can I simply wire the cable attached to the rear (pictured) and into the plug (attached) which can then be plugged into the 2 gang switched sockets? I will be...

I really hope someone can help. I got a door mat advertised as being outdoors and indoors. i put it on my nice new ceramic tiles at my front door and after some rain, the mat was ruined but more worryingly it’s left a terrible stain. I tried a mop with some hot water and fairy liquid but no joy...

In the process of doing up the garden. I had planned to put some plastic edging, the ones with spikes along this area to put some flowers etc in but I got them and they are rubbish. I have decided to go with 6 inch treated timber. I’m planning on running a string line and putting pegs in and...

Hello. I am planning to lay a bit of timber as shown and use it as a flower bed. I was just wondering the best way to attach to the concrete? There won’t be much weight and was thinking about these clips as shown in the picture. Any advise would be great thanks

Hi. I’m replacing this with black floplast and was just wondering what I would need to order? Gutter and downpipe and clips but not sure about bends and end caps?

I built some alcove and painted it with Eggshell paint. I primed the MDF prior to applying 2 coats of the eggshell. I am finding that it’s a dust magnet and I am constantly having to wipe it down and as a result I fear it may degrade the paint. Do you think I could apply a clear varnish to the...

Hello. I was planning to lay a base for a shed. I dug up the grass and removed about 3 inches of soil only to find these beasts. These rocks seem to be buried deep and tbh I don’t fancy even attempting to try to lift them (not that I could). Obviously the base needs to be even and that isn’t...

I have an issue where I am right opposite a community centre who have people standing pretty much everyday directly opposite smoking and chatting. It’s not their fault, but they’re literally staring into my house all the time. I’d like to be able to walk around in my bare arse if the moment took...

No but seriously, wall is out by around 2 inches. Any ideas? I normally use grab adhesive for skirting but this will obviously not work in this case. I was thinking about drilling some countersinks into the skirting and using plugs and screws? I’m reluctant as I know it will look bowed but do I...

I am planning to continue the pavers in the area in red to set my bins and a few other bits. I’ve never done any kind of paving work and was wondering the best way to go about this. It would be 9 slabs in total. My plan is to 1. Dig area out and level with type 2 MOT (I don’t think I will need...
