  1. yep, built a double garage with my first attempt and been using for my internal wall blocks more recently
  2. Look at a Bricky tool if you want to do it yourself, deffo makes things easier DIY https://bricky.com/building-tools/bricky/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjNS3BhChARIsAOxBM6o8x5HUUSHDsq9SWn3yo1nDXqNGRv9n2UfOwMrMZ3gAy6IbTCh9pQgaAtfCEALw_wcB
  3. Yeah I've told them don't skimp on the base, has to be substantial and not likely to rot away
  4. No base yet, it's just earth/grass. She said "So looking at the pergola going from end of garden and stopping at last plant pot"
  5. they're all treated but you need to keep up the maintenance of washing it down and re-treating it
  6. funnily enough I saw that in a retail park on the weekend. It's still the maintenance side of wood though
  7. that'd be a worry and a reason I hate wooden decking. As they're elderly a good grip is pretty vital
  8. just a simple rectangle. Yeah any pics would be good which I can send her
  9. Hi all, Asking for a very good friend of my partner. She was just about to have normal wooden decking down on their patio (I believe it's 2400 x 3600) and I mentioned how I hated wooden decking cos of the maintenance. She has looked at composite and said it's a bit of a minefield in terms of product and price. I just wondered if anyone has used a product they they would recommend and also if anyone has any good or bad points about composite decking. Is it something people wouldn't bother with and go with slabs or something? They're an elderly couple so maintenance needs to be pretty minimum. Cheers Vijay
  10. Found these guys to be very helpful. My partner had always struggled keeping a lawn (many on her estate had the same issue). I gave them a call and they suggested their "childs playarea seed" and it worked great. https://www.bostonseeds.com/products/grass-seeds/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw8rW2BhAgEiwAoRO5rIS__AC0cR74XzLrwDOeBOnm_euMYeX_AH3OpGPBCoxukKt7Qe_pkRoCi8UQAvD_BwE
  11. exactly how I installed it, used blocks to weigh it all down when installing it.
  12. Yep but I did timberwork to support it, but it still failed
  13. I fitted one of these for my parents and I'd never fit one again! They look amazing but weren't well made and Abacus couldn't care less. A year or so down the line, the plastic guttering/drain cracked and leaked. I had to break the ceiling from underneath to fix it which was an absolute headache
  14. The front of the site and one side where my static is is all heras fenced. The rest of the plot has got 4 bar fencing . When he visited in June, the fence on the front was damaged, but replaced in July.
  15. not sure I'd want them to think I'm playing games, but I like that idea for shutting off materials and other bits I have on site
