Hi all, Does anyone know how to connect three lengths of guttering to a water butt? Two of the lengths will be from an apex-roofed garden shed - the butt will be to the right of the back of the shed so it will be near one side of the shed but the width of the shed ( 9 feet ) away from the...

Can anyone recommend a good jigsaw at a reasonable price. I had a Lidl one but it never cut accurately and now part of the casing has broken so it's going back.

I noticed that the mineral felt on a two-year old garden apex-roofed shed has split close to where it is folded over the fascias. Does anyone know why this might have happened so soon? If it needs re-felting should the existing felt be left on and covered over for extra...

Is there any cheap way of stopping or reducing condensation on a corrugated metal roof? It's a ventilated wood shed - open at the front and fenced at the sides and back. The roof panels are being taken off at the moment to raise the roof height - someone suggested putting a membrane of...
