Right 2nd guess Wizer, It is a veranda, I will not be enclosing it, but I have built it that if in the future someone wants to put some glass pannels into the sides they can. Our back garden is very windy as we are at quite a high elevation, I saw the glass verandas that are advertised and the...

Hi all I have not posted for a while, a new baby daughter last June to go along with our two and a half year old twins, not much free time available. but I started a garden project last summer, which i hope to finish in the next 3 to 4 months, its a great burden on the bank account having all...

Sorry but I have to disagree, getting a fab shop to build at £30p/h still will be expensive. materials for 12m £400/500 build 24hrs £ 720 polishing £ 200 instal 2 men 1.5 days £ 650 total £ 2050 divided...

Just looked at your link, SWR same type of product but you could do this yourself, as I said fully finished it may seem expensive but will always be cheaper than a custom build.

Probably best you don't go down the route of buying all the parts, tube, elbows etc, as whatever the price you come up with multiply it by 5, also site fabrication leaves the nightmare of polishing, the achillies heel of stainless fab. The wire option can be difficult for a first time fit, also...

Looks ab fab, roof looks the business, Its a true saying that the small details are what make the difference. Don't you just love Genie lifts, what kind of weight would be in one of those 175 x 175 beams. Also if you don't mind me asking what kind of cladding is that on the building to the rear...

I have 2 raillings and a gate where I have used teak, 2 were finished last year the gate I finished a couple of weeks ago, supplier of teak gave me duff advice, I would like if possible to retain the colour as when installed as this picture The balcony railling seems to be taking the brunt of...

Moved into a new house and one thing the wife was looking forward to was a back garden with grass that when you stepped onto it you did not need your wellies, new house new grass, no drainage under the new grass, so getting the mini digger out and putting in some drains, while I am at it I am...

I am looking to build a glass veranda type structure on the back of the house, but I am thinking of using steel and cladding it in wood, still looking into the material possibly cedar, I would like to use a stainless wood mix but what a price, one thing to note was the stainless teak gate I...

Just did a massive reply and went submit and I timed out damm, went like this, thans for the replies, Dug out the old invoices, 209 linear metres £2881 net of vat, inc flooring. And I did not have that much left as, and this was new to me I planned the full build including all materials needed...

Olly, Are all the hinges lifting, if not, the pic of the hinge you have shown looks to be the opposite end to the fitted support, looks like the support causing a twisting effect, which will be countered by fitting the other one. hope you get a quick fix. Just a guess never fitted anything like...

Yeah I like the bookcase too, funny thing is I think the colour is part of the thing I like about it, it saying look at me I'am diffrent. I am more intrested in your kitchen annex doors, was that a solid pannel and you routered the grooves in or an other type of construction, My bookcase I made...

Gime ittime my lord only moved in last August, Just remembered my manners, Thanks for all the replies, its always nice to know your work is appreciated. Don't you just love forums, going to post some pics of my day job one reason I bought the house I did, the builder moved in as well (his own...

The flooring is 18mm hardwood walnut flooring with the high gloss finish, Think they were the 125mm boards, could always check, as the funny thing is the new owner gave me a key to thew house and phones me every now and then to go and collect my mail, and I let my self in as she goes to London...

Looks fab, not any good at painting myself, also tried RC helicopters for a little while, destroyed numerous blades and tail rotors. dangerous things in the wrong hands, mine were the wrong hands.

Bloonose, All true never did woodwork before, was totaly mince at school failled class, but I do deal with drawings and fabrications all day, so it was just a matter of turning those skills to woodwork, bought the wood from a local merchant who we do work for, so put it went through the business...

Look comfy, what about a holder for your bottle of beer,

Woodbloke, yes they are surface mounted, when I was designing this I was looking around for ideas and one I saw by somebody who charges alot of money to build you fitted bookcase had this surface mounted type. I guess though when looking straight on and partly from the side you do not reall...

Paul yes partly because of the twins, and in making the place feel bigger I got rid of cubboard space, credit crunch hit just when we moved, then you question your decision to move could we have got by etc, probably yes, but then the next shock, Scott, you better sit down, why? I am pregnant...
