This would work, but I would still need to fix the concrete gravel board to something

This looks great, assuming a concrete gravel board will also slot into this and provide a good enough fixing.

Yep going to have to make a panel by cutting one down, just plan to cover the gap not overlap.

Hi there, I have this very small section between the newly built extension and first fence post. It's my side of the fence so I plan to replace all panels, while putting concrete boards in. I don't think I can easily put a concrete post in against the house due to foundations getting in the...

Sorry I didn't mean to fence, but the fence posts and gravel boards. Say I go with your idea and have a mortar bed and slabs butted up to gravel boards, IF my neighbor ever decided they wanted to remove/replace the gravel boards or fence posts my patio would be in trouble as it would lose its...

Hi Noseall, your advise to slab against gravel boards, I guess would work fine on my side of the fence, however couldn't I run into issues on the other neighbors side if they ever wanted to replace their fence?

Thanks 23vc I know you originally advised this, but I really wanted to go ahead with my desired outcome of having a high enough patio level where a step is not needed as in my opinion it looks perfect.

Thanks for the replies and help noseall, really appreciate it. Your right, a step looks OK. I think my previous image was completely wrong as well. I believe DPC is the red line in this image, so If I was following advice my finish patio would be around the blue line. If I was to follow...

Thanks for the replies. My understanding is that the rule of 150mm below DPC is a 'should' and not a 'must'......is this not correct? As per this image, the red line is the DPC level. The reason I want to have finish patio level higher (blue line) is obviously because it will look nice and I...

Hi all, I need a lot of guidance and hand holding, finishing off the drainage outside new extension and patio prep. We want to build a patio, side fence to fence to finish just below the bottom of the air bricks, its around 300mm from current soil level to desired finish level. I understand I...

Thanks @jeds and excuse the possibly stupid question, but to add a vent in bed 2 and lounge I’ll just need to drill out a hole similar to the one already in bed 1? (And attach new grill/vent cover)

Hi there, Recently purchased a 1930s terrace house, currently renovating. The fireplaces have already been bricked up in the lounge and both bedrooms upstairs, however there was only a vent in bedroom 1, nothing in bedroom 2 or in the lounge. (Photos attached) Is this correct? Should I leave...
