Re: Up The Garden Path

The 10ft X 8ft shed is in these two boxes, they weigh a tonne, the courier left the box on the left the other way up, against the arrows, have to wait till assembly to see if all is Ok.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Probably OK. The preferred way of storing is usually when stacking multiple units on pallets and shelves.

Slow death by infinite self-tappers and nuts and bolts will no doubt follow soon.

Re: Up The Garden Path

I read that somewhere Dex, found a good match for the slabs (Light Grey) only trouble is the existing ones are 38mm thick, the ones today are 32mm, so, I will have to mix marginally more mortar, on the positive side, they are 25% lighter so I may get them in the car and save a delivery charge.

Re: Up The Garden Path

That's something I suppose. Costs them less to make, costs you the same or more to buy, and costs you more in terms of mortar, to lay.

What you might find weird is that the new 450mm isn't quite the same as the old 450mm

Oddly the above statement I have found true the newer slabs for my front garden identical supplier name type but not 450mmm more 440mm ish so my plan of mix and match old and new fell away.

Re: Up The Garden Path

Hello Kazz, I am going to buy three of these slabs today and see how they refer, before committing to buying the lot. Set the second fence post today so will pick up some 25X25mm timber at the same time to make the posts slotted.

Re: Up The Garden Path

TBH Dex these slabs were probably made by a one man band with the moulds that can be generally purchased, the amount of concrete dye being questionable. They have faded badly, so I think I will use the slab type on the patio as these are still generally available, and will sort of look intentional.
