@Snowbaby just get the bloke back that hung it for you. If he is a decent bloke he would sort something out for you if you show him the problem.

Gary my hubby uses it mate...it's good stuff, he's just sealed mine to the slabs on the front with the stuff

Hello @Irmemac brilliant idea mate, as my hubby build the same thing the side of our porch when we had settled in but he also added a plain Acrylic Sheet in full length and you can purchase them coloured...great idea concerning the wheels

Well we have a small porch and hubby put a side peace in a few years back but the wood started to deteriorate on it, so he went to a place recommended by a friend... who was window specialists but did porches as it only needed a door and side panel...they quoted over £600 but you give them the...

Welcome Back then.. Wow that is certainly a transformation, looks great

I have some buddleia, lupins and a few other bits to go in. I want to attract as much wildlife as possible so will be using some of the cut offs for a bug hotel and hedgehog houses.

That is a wonderful idea! This said, having moved a load of paving slabs in the past, I think that must save a lot in gym's fees too

All I would add is that really the shredded stuff should be rotted down first, I'd go for the old compost heap first. Bearing in mind organic matter has a habit of slowly disappearing, so whatever you use, if you add a lot, the bed will sink. Top soil is best in my view, and be careful to only...

HI Martin, I have attached a photo, taken in the dark but you can see the small area im working with and it is shaded. Ignore the plant boxes and the bamboo - these need rearranged, bamboo isnt working - so will transplant into wider containers.I did post on another thread - thought my issue...

Welcome to the forum Stephen. I wouldn't worry about getting all the smaller root sections out. From what I can make out from the 'before' picture those shrubs are not the type to regrow from roots. Also I don't see any need to get new top soil in, unless it's to build up the level to match the...

Doghouse Riley, your garden is stunning.

Yes they do S, pity there wasn't a few more but there is enough to hold back the soil where it matters, i did find some identical at a reclamation yard but they was £3 each £30 one mtr run so i will stick with the ones i have.
