We have one pallet. The rest is pallet wood. We can reconstruct a pallet but would have to buy the thicker timbers to do it with.

The bins haven't been used for anything. The above was in response to a news article someone saw.

Thanks, we already have the bins though. Another possibility for the bin full of petrol splitting is that petrol is a solvent. It may have weakened the plastic due to it not being the right type of plastic.

Thanks. I will also be getting normal taps - because they let the water out at a decent rate.

My thoughts exactly. You know another timber that doesn't rot? Huon Pine. I'm not sure you'd even be able to get enough of it, irrespective of cost.

Thanks. We might try the 3x3 timber. We do need to keep the option of moving the whole lot if we need to.

Just piled/placed (e.g. drystone style) or with mortar?

No, just using wheely-bin to make it easier to move if we need to. Would still need to be all but empty, but it would have wheels and handles. Can the bricks be just piled or would they need mortar? We need something moveable.

Thanks. Our surface is fully flat there and I would like to be able to get something under the tap, only reason I want to raise it.

Thanks Colin, good warning! They will get late afternoon/evening sun, which is pretty warm. I presume by explode you mean that the side split due to weakening? What does he sit them on?

We are going to use a wheely-bin as a water butt. To have the tap high up enough to get a watering can under it (but not 1 foot from the bottom of the butt), we need a stand. It needs to be able to live on the north side of the house, withstand being outside and support 250kg. Does anyone have...

Thank you! I haven't heard of them so will definitely have a look.

Hi all, I tried searching the threads but the problem is that I don't know the correct terms to search. I am looking for recommendations for where to get things like strong, reliable screws 'like they used to make', weird shaped brackets (or whatever they're called, like the photo I have...

Hi all, I joined hoping to find inspiration and help for some projects I would like to complete. Did a little bit of turning, carving, etc with my dad growing up but not done much since. I have made a couple of upholstered storage ottomans, two simple knives, a bunch of lace bobbins and a few...
