I have never walked up/down on this type of staircase but they look a bit scary. Perhaps they are only good for a certain age group i.e. not under 10 or over 50 or any age of a nervous disposition? Long term a traditional staircase (with a balustrade) will be more useful/saleable/safe.

Ive done this a few times its a right bxxxxx to do, Ive used long strong tyre screwdrivers to force the tyre over the rim and used my foot in conjunction to help. As Nail says push the bead (on the same side as the tyre lever) into the well as it gives a bit more room. On one occasion I went to...

Did you get it sorted

Just came across one of the ---- you must spray foam your attic under the tiles to get great energy savings adverts ------ IMO its the worst thing you can do to a house roof - and I'm not to do a pros and cons but for a shed? Sounds bonkers but why not? Anyone tried it or have any thoughts about it?

Might be youtube vid out there as well, try on a bit of scrap first

I like Scruples approach but find when called to fix something for someone I end up needing a mix of all sorts of tools - so after collecting tools from various boxes do the job -- do I put the tools back where they came from or do they just end up as another collection of sundry tools?

Or then buy another box

I hope the original poster lets us know the outcome

I'm not sure of the implications of listing a firm as rip off/fraudulent and it was genuine perhaps its actionable by the legal guys?

The address is in ----- which is not far from me - I'm pretty certain the address is a set of smallish industrial units on part of a farm (or maybe where a farm used to be) I think surrounded by fields. From the website it looks to be genuine to me (but it would) Have you tried filling in the...

Don't seen too get slips round my way nowadays. The ones I do see are usually full of broken bricks empty paint tins garden cuttings and useless stuff. Maybe we should have a skip of the week photo posting so we can see what's out there?

Perhaps square paving slabs laid on a good bed of 6inch concrete would do the job. Slabs positioned so that the shed floor bearers sit centrally on them. BTW I cant see the point of tying the old concrete slab into new If you went that way of extending

As others have said make it more round with a saw - making it round from as is - not a challenge I would take up

A thought or 2 Just looked at their website (Dulux) and it looks as if you've done what they suggest Is the oak (old wood/bench?) very open grain and the product didn't get a good soak into the grain? End grain really soaked? Was it pretty dry when applied? If not is it possible that wood...

Wash the pole with hot water/washing up liquid - dry - spray silicone or ptfe spray on the pole - sorted

Something like this? https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+join+handrail&view=detail&mid=424DA6009BAF006B882E424DA6009BAF006B882E&FORM=VIRE Should work, imo glue will not withstand the force of someone pulling on the handrail but will cosmetically help, definitely not pva look for...

For the sake of my comment lets assume its a normal wall not plasterboard and then the OP used the screws and rawlplugs that came with the stairgate and the rawlplugs are only in as deep as the coat of plaster. If this is the case remove the plugs drill into the brickwork say an inch and a...

Hi MikeJhn I was so chuffed at finding some and forgot to see where they were before posting - ah well the power of google Glad you've found some locally cheers ps if you'd paid the airfare I would have collected them for you and paid my own hotel bills :)

I was going to suggest a torch on roofing felt such as a capping felt then thought the polycarbonate sheet might not take the heat, then lead does seem best but its 2.1 m wide and 2m long so it may be tricky/heavy across the length/width to actually fit. Perhaps you dummy fit the roof then mark...
