Thanks Jadele, really useful reply.

Sure, it is 2” flexible pipe running underground beneath soil and gravel. It will carry 240 volt AC, and 12/24 v DC cables and exists at ground level. Will supply a water feature and a outside shed.

240v AC, plus 12 and 24 v DC

Correct, then both low voltage.

OK thanks, I was hoping that there would be something smaller!

There will be two 2" and 4" round pipe.

I need someone to point me in the right direction for the right equipment to allow electrical cables (low and domestic voltage) to exit neatly from underground runs. Maximum cable bunches will be 3-4 and it seems overkill using a man hole and chamber, but no matter how much I search I cannot...

Has anyone successfully fitted a Yale Conexis to a rock door please?

Main reason is to allow a four inch drain to server a bottom drain, which will gravity feed a filter unit. Pumped solutions tend to liquidise sediment etc making filtration more difficult and leading to cloudier water. A four inch pipe and a bottom drain with a seive can cope with solids that...

Great feedback, thanks guys.

Appreciate your advice.

For professional block paving allow £75-£100 per sqm. If using gravel then use a gravel retention system (honeycomb grid), cheap and salvoes many gravel issues.

I am about to embark on a large garden pond project and wondered whether someone could let me know what of the following would be reasonable to expect general labourers to perform / have experience of doing: 1 - Concrete laying 2 - Rebar fitting 3 - Block walling 4 - Mini digger operation 5 -...

Useful reply, thank you. If I employ general labourers would it be reasonable to expect them to know how to do this properly?

I need to dig out a chamber for pond filter equipment approx 1 metre deep, 3 metres across and 2 metres wide. How should I best finish the job. My very limited (read non existent) building knowledge says that I can line and floor with breeze blocks and simple add one layer of breeze blocks to...

Thanks for the reply. I am only using concrete for the bottom drain fitting - The pond will be liner. If I was using blocking and walls, it would be much simpler!

Some advice please - If I am digging out a pond - say 42" deep, and want to put a bottom drain in, then I need a channeller the 4" pipe that will go to the filter area. The channel will be six inches wide to take this four inch pipe and will sit from the middle of the pond to a location about 3...
