Right, tube wise I have 19mm OD / 15mm ID. Then 1" OD / 7/8" ID. Both stainless: Tbh the smaller one might actually be Imperial too... 😂 On the washer front, all I have in a big dia is bright zinc plated on the right. On the left is a thick form, 2.5mm thick, M12 stainless washer but standard diameter. In the middle, an M12 thick form, stainless spring washer. I'll look again tomorrow.

I'll go have a look either now or in the morning. I could easily post him some pre-cut

What size studs? I've some 3/4" nom bore, heavy wall, stainless tube here I think. Would save painting, wouldn't rust etc.

Yes, 150x50 is a bit of 6"x2" timber

Read my reply just now.

Scaffold poles are 48.3mm diameter. Buy a 50mm dia wood bit and drill up the middle of the 150x150 leg. Drill 100mm deep. Slip the 450mm length of scaffold up in the hole, you'll then have 350mm of pole sticking out from the bottom of the post. Forster bits are nice tools. You might be able to get a cheap, 50mm, flat wood bit instead. https://www.amazon.co.uk/6-50Mm-High-Carbon-Woodworking-Durable-Sets-45Mm/dp/B0849Y1Q83/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?

I'm going to cheat. I feel the beans need a "boost": Says 1/2 cap to 1L of water but how much then does each plant "get"? Maybe just 100ml each then the next? On the good news front, since I added the ash layer to the runners in the pot, the slugs and snails seem to have reduced dramatically. Hopefully a feed will help the plants repair some of the damage. The runners in the enclosure, with the ring fence of ash and beer traps, haven't been touched.

Do you have UHF, is that drying the trap out?

Lion / tiger poo is supposed to work well too. I recall that freshly shed snake skins placed in the loft seemed to scare the mice away.

Wood ash, scattered atop the soil in the runners pot seems to have worked. Looking at 4am this morning, it's been raining and there's slugs on the ground, no critters on the plants in the pots. (They seem to prefer the runners over the dwarf beans for some reason). Speaking with my brother and he reckoned nettle fertiliser takes about 6 weeks to brew then you dilute by 10x.

Deleted.

Right then, tonight, bloody great snail munching on the runners in pot! No snail trail up the side or over the rim. Where does it live, under the dirt in the pot during the day? Is it worth sprinkling wood ash over the soil?

A bigger vacuum lifter?

& doesn't leak!

I heard he got it from a Bristolian skip!

Wire mesh? For example: https://www.ultimate-one.co.uk/premium-hdg-weld-mesh-panel-8x4-4x4-10g-244x122m-british-p-1523? & https://www.sure-green.com/wire-panel-8ft-4ft-12-gauge.html?

Sod that. I'd do it freestanding with more legs at the back.

If you're recall he asked for the render to match the existing.

Beam A, the one to the house... Your extension construction is timber frame isn't it? As in timber stud uprights and "hollows". You can't resin fix to that.

Go glass?

Frame is up: Still printing lots of PETG plastic bits to screw the base down:

How did you get so close to take those photos of the local property? 😉 What length is 1 to 4?

Mine's actually longer than it looks but it curves at the end: Yours looks healthier though possibly?

Couldn't agree more. I use it on the car, inside sills etc but can't help thinking it's not too environmentally friendly in this application i.e above plants we're going to eat.

I figured ladder beams / lattice trusses were potentailly the way to go. I've always fancied anyway making up a jig, just dropping cut parts in a welding them together. This site apparently has a good range of calculators. Can't find though what relates to calcuating box section trusses: https://jonochshorn.com/scholarship/calculators-st/index.html
