Yes: ...or just dip the hose end in hot water / warm up with a heat gun, push it on and secure with a jubilee clip

I genuinely have no idea.

First bits of my solar thermal kit:

You having a dig? Come up the Rising Sun Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun night and say that! 😂

Seemingly now clear of blackfly. Not sure if it's because of my efforts with manually getting rid, the accompanying dusting with peppermint spray oil or that I now have spiders and ladybirds living on the plants. Probably a combination. No beans yet but a good few flowers.

Why?

Back to concrete filled soil pipe then! 😉

To do with the resonant frequency of the quartz maybe?

Ring them up. As I say, made to order suggests they keep a stock of plastic granules and only fire up the machines when required. Makes some sense in keeping with their green ethos. If you look at the various photos they have little brackets and cleats fixed on for fences panels, wire etc. They likely wouldn't be adverse, or have perhaps done before, ones with hole(s) through, top or top and middle. Decide though first on your rope diameter and be aware it might swell a little when wet. You could do top and mid rope for the bulk of the run then say have a gap where you berth with a clip across rope.

Recycled plastic: https://www.kedel.co.uk/mixed-plastic-lumber/SG045085.html? Cheap as and seemingly made to order. They might put a rope hole in for you. Edit: Apologies, I see @Tempalready linked this.

How about... Posts set into freestanding concrete bases, whiskey barrels etc: Or 25L containers filled with concrete. I suppose the issue with both the above is some toe rag could push them into the canal... Final offer...4" soil pipe set into the ground, fill with concrete or pea shingle even. Cross pipe at the top for a rope. You could prime and paint whichever V&B pastel shade floats your boat..... Could even 3D print you some themed, feature pinnacles to slip on top!

Lengths of good old fashioned telegraph poles as posts?

They could slot the bottom so they slip over that corrugated edging by the water. A couple of drilled and tapped holes for securing bolts.

I thought it would be a chuck made by Bosch as that 608... number is on the parts list for that drill. Saying that, they (Bosch), like everyone else change parts or sub parts out. Or they produce a batch of drills for a particular seller that have to be brought in on a price Tbh though Jacobs generally means a drill chuck like Hoover means vacuum cleaner i.e a traditionally very good make. You could change the chuck then for a 3/8"-24 but 13mm capacity instead of 10mm. 3/8" is the UNF thread size where the chuck connects to the drill. 24 is the "tpi", teeth per inch of that thread. Generally that will have a 10mm chuck. 10mm tends to be on lower spec, cheaper drills. Bigger, better drills, that take a 13mm bit tend to have a 1/2"-20 thread connection. So that's a 1/2" UNF thread with 20tpi. However...you can and I've done a few, get a 13mm chuck with a 3/8"-24 thread. Need to be careful not to over stress the drill if you do this.

I'm sure there'll be a probe.

Your key chuck I'm guessing is part number 1 608 571 054. That's a Ø1-10 MM, 1/2"-24UNF.

Looking at my gauge I have to read it on the side. If it was horizontal I could read it the right way up is all I can think.

Tbh it's not a major deal to change that chuck on your drill to a 13mm one.

Got my lad to print a protective TPU end in case I should accidentally fall backwards whilst pallet busting...again. (That's CT1 to secure it btw).

Seems that Erbauer one is available at Screwfix: https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-straight-shank-masonry-drill-bit-14-x-200mm/425hy#product_additional_details_container Toolstation for the Bosch one? https://www.toolstation.com/bosch-expert-multi-construction-tct-drill-bit/p84287?

I assume your drill chuck is a 13mm one? It'll be written on the end. This Bosch bit will fit I'm sure, it's reduced shank.

Yeah, don't use solvent weld, we know how that ends.
