Where were the slats from?   They look like 2 x 1 treated with rounded corners.  I am looking for something like this.

 

That's exactly what they are (£3.90 for 3.6m lengths), not sure if they are available in all of there stores

Success. Got a clone charger and 2 batteries on amazon. Nails with gas from screwfix using £10 voucher.

There were no instructions,so i couldnt get anything to happen.

Youtube College showed how the gas tube is activated. The first attempt resulted in a waste of gas: easy the second time.

Then it simply worked. POOM.

So now it is worth investing in a storage case.

Just keep your hand away from where you nail. My second day, I held the wood close to where I was nailing, the nail hit a hard knot and went at 45 deg, through my finger. A tad sore, pulling my finger of the nail.

 

Good job I had some masking tape in the van, to use as a plaster.

This is so true, amount of times I've seen the nail skew out over the course of my build.  I always keep a hacksaw blade close by.
