garden

Newbie here, and tbh last place I expected to come looking for some help, but I arrived on this forum when searching for some ideas for a replacement set of gates and some fencing for my house. I’d seen an excellent thread on here from @Martynt74 and all the advice he got, so thought I would...

Its not wd40 is it?

I'm exploring using something along the lines of Ecodeck to make a temporary/permanent hardstanding over existing old concrete and concrete slabs (to put temporary shed type structure) but scratching my head about levelling options for the ecodeck. Do have a possible idea but might not work .. I...

Purchased these fence panels a year ago and fitted them without the need as I thought they were treated? I want to seal them now as they are getting some dark areas (see photos) what is this mould? Any suggestions as to what I should do? Sand it out? Treat it first with mould “stuff” I was...

Hi all, Newbie here! I have a small area (1265mm x 1530mm) at the back of my garden which abutts my shed. It currently is a flower bed but . To prepare the ground my plan is to dig out the topsoil strata and then lay a weed-proof membrane and put some gravel and slabs on top. Is there...

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a compost bin. Our garden is a typical new build estate size so something fairly compact would be best. Ideally something that doesn't attract rats. We're leaning towards a compost tumbler as they're off the ground and sealed. They also seem fairly...

:) I'm attempting to "sort the gareden" out this year. We have a sloped garden that leads itself towards 3 tiers / terraces. I want to seperate these with walls. The largest will be on the tyop boundry that's 25m long and i'll have it about 1m high. Other walls will be smaller, i'd like to...

Im thinking about building a bbq shack/bar in my back garden and was wondering if any of you had something similar you'd like to share photos of? Feel free to post pics of your summerhouses and pergolas as well just for the hell of it. I love spending time out in my garden when the weather is...

I'm going to try and lay some grey Indian sandstone slabs next week with my dad and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good jointing compound? Dad thinks we should use a 4:1 mix but we want the colour grey do people use dye's? I was going to order some geo-fix mix and just brush it in...

It's been on my to do list for years, no gas just wood! Smaller lower end self install (not self build!) units seem to go for around £500 which doesn't seem bad minus the hassle of installation etc. Has anyone got one of the cheaper clay units?

Thought it was time to paint the fence as im getting through jobs quite quick whilst im in lockdown :D Got some Cuprinol Ducksback in Silver Copse as our fence doesnt get any sun in the summer its got a lot of algae on it what product would be best? I've seen bleach mentioned (not the most...

Hi I need some input in regards to a garden issue. We had our patio laid down. Now there seems to be rain water coming towards our house. It should have been draining away from it. But the way the workers laid down the patio it’s all uneven and the water isn’t flowing where it should be...

Whilst not at the scale of some of the gardens on here I thought I'd make a little thread on the most major project going on in the house at the moment. The Garden! For a while now it's not been what we wanted. The decking was ok, but then started to rot and fall apart due in part to whoever...

Hey guys, i could really do with some advice on what to do with my driveway. It's been the same since i moved in a few years back, but not some of the bricks and cracks are starting to become a problem (The driveway wall, step outside my porch). As well as the front garden, I own all of the...

Hi i'm looking at putting in some drainage, perforated pipe gravel and membrane as our garden sits on a lot of clay. I'm going to tap into the rainwater pipe, I'm hoping this is ok? Has anyone done this? Would it be best to use the flexible perforated pipe or just normal pipe and drill some...
