Unless and I don’t think you have little people open plan is simple and neat. 3 year old nieces may fall in the stream but doubt they will drown, 7 year olds will swing underneath and laugh?

Ryder Services in Moffat will deliver 4@ 150mm redwood posts PAR and treated for £202 including delivery and VAT I’m happy at £50 each? Photos will be along in a week or so as well as questions about a cut hipped roof, never done anything like it before

Welcome Jim i wonder if 5 little people count half when sizing a treatment plant!
-
Thank you but out of stock (the website just said we don’t deliver to your postcode...? Cumbernauld is 5 miles from me) i have found a place in Moffat that I can phone tomorrow and ask?
-
Unfortunately not but that’s exactly what I need and a very nice price too!

Okay so I’ve decided to go ahead and drop the uprights into a hefty pit and concrete them in. spent close to a grand today on timber, tiles, paint and whatnot but the timber guys could not do the 4 uprights I need 4 @ 130mm square planed at 3m in length, nice bullnose chamfered but I can do that myself if need be. They will be stained possibly painted. where does a man get a hold of such?

North Glasgow so winter winds can be wild and it’s a little exposed. 3.5m sq, same shape as the wrecked Aldi fabric gazebo, killed by last nights May winds. New Expensive patio furniture is on order and it’ll protect this in winter too It’s to cover this decking, meets Scottish permitted development rules, snip The permitted development rules for an ancillary building are: it's located at the back of the house it's not used as a separate home to live in it, and any other development, does not take up half or more of the 'curtilage' – this means half or more of the grounds behind your home it's not higher than 4 metres at the highest point any part that's a metre or less from the boundary is no higher than 2.5 metres the eaves (the part where the wall meets the roof) is no higher than 3 metres if the land is in a conservation area or in the grounds of a listed building, the ancillary building has a footprint of less than 4 square metres something like this but just posts on the corners. How to anchor the posts? Roof structure for a square hipped roof, I’m not bad with timber but by no means professional? I’m inclined towards a beefy structure with say 6x2’s for the perimeter of the roof edge? Appearance from underneath, thinking frame it, paint/stain the frame and then sheet it in ply (maybe pre painted in a contrast from the frame) then felt tiles as they easy and neat? Don't plan gutters but maybe? id welcome the collective knowledge...

Building an iron age round house ?

If you’re properly whacky then regulation means owt Go for it ? -
He made a nice timber frame on top of the existing corrugated roof and I thought he was going to sheet it But he then stretched shed felt across it and used black bitumen to join the felt! Hes new to the street and very reserved and I sort of wanted to walk over and say something but he had already done a few strips by the time I saw it and thought I’d just leave him to it...

Ach rubbish post, in the video he scribes the floor then lays a very thick granite tile and the ‘what’s this’ is the hand held power tool that vibrates and forces the tile downwards

Hello. Looking for some workshop build advice. Cheers
Tennentslager replied to Magicpickleman's topic in Introduce Yourself
A sketch would help... how you design the roof and where the rainwater goes might be a good first thought. Also, what’s the workshop for? This will influence things like heating, humidity, comfort, building regs and much more. Are you going to pickle stuff? -
