Hi, I would like to buy a set able timer for the hose. I already have two timers but they don’t do what I want. All I want to do is to be able to set a on time and an off time for about 12 hours, to supply the cat water jet sprayer. So literally a valve with an on and off time. I can’t for...

And take the washer out of the new one?

Next question....Can someone point me in the direction of the correct washers for the fitting please?

I will try another seal. Many thanks.

The leak is coming from the grey adapter because I cannot screw it home as it hits the underside of the tap. Seems like the tap is a terrible design. Maybe I can change the tap. I have tried PTFE tape but to no avial. Maybe another washer or two could work.# If I buy a new tap do I just unscrew...

Good evening, I have an outside tap with a 3/4"thread. I'm trying to set up outside irrigation and the timer connector is 1". It comes with a 3/4" to 1" adapter which I thread on as far as it can go. The connector leaks and I initially thought i was a problem with the connector itself however...

That looks like it’ll do just the job. Many thanks.

Hello! I bought a domed, wood fired pizza oven last year. Inside the base is made up of tiles with some kind of mortar between them. There is a little bit of mortar missing between two tiles and I want to fill it before using for the first time. Can someone recommend what mortar I should be...

Thanks guys. In the end I have found a plug cutter and bore set from screwfix. Looks like it will do the job. I will report back. I can then cut the dowels from the cedar I'm using

Hi everyone, Well...I'm now 5 years into landscaping the garden and currently making a cedar bench. I'm looking to screw the cedar edge panels together with a 9mm countersink (as shown in the image). Then I'm planning to glue and dowel to cover up the screws and provide a flush look to the...

So…I’ve been quoted £700 to render the wall in the photo. Seems expensive to me but I have no experience. What do people think?

I’m going to apply corner beads on the corners etc. at the base of the wall should I install a stop bead or just render to the foundation? I can see a benefit of having a bead there as I’ll be able to easily run the straight edge over the wall by putting it across the top corner head and the...

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Good evening everyone, My next job in the landscaping project is to render the retaining wall (see photo). Is there some info online that provides any info? I've watched a few YouTube videos etc but wondered if anyone has any nugget tips? I will need to get some beads for the corners and some...

Ahh sorry I missed this. Yes it's Sketchup. It's free for the online version. You can buy other versions if you want to do more with it. This is fine for me though.

Haha. Getting the laser installed too....

Hi everyone, Well the weather is looking to be better next week and I'm on leave so planning on doing a bit more landscaping in the garden. I'm going to excavate the bottom part of the garden (bounded by the yellow line in the model). There is a clay paver path to be laid on top of sharp sand...

Hi, I’m mulling over the best way of laying clay paver edging at the perimeter of my garden (by the fence). I will be laying decorative gravel with a stabilisation grid and want the edging to restrain the gravel. Can I lay the edging on concrete which is laid directly on top of the soil or do I...

Yes you’re both right. I am going to find some thicker cross supports. I think what is required is a section with high moment of area if I remember back to my engineering days. A long time ago! I think the main issue is that the length wise battens, as drawn, will have a span of around 570mm...

Thanks for your input. Are you talking aobut something like this? I personally prefer the longitudinal type arrangement visually but agree this would be much stronger. I was trying to replicate a corner bench I found on contemporary fencing website. See below. I will have to buy some more...
