Hi Deeps,
as you already know, this is a landscaping job that i have done in Canberra. I have emailed you to let you know my next available date to quote…

As Fu has mentioned RUN away from the recycled rubber weeper hose, not only does it discharge an unknown amount but it is 100% useless on sloping ground as it…

The only controller i use and recommend to clients (residential purposes) is the Toro DDC. I would estimate i have installed 350-400 of these without one single call back due…

Hi DJ,
Just to clarify, the ditch that fills up with water, is that where the unslotted agline finishes and that why you have a small lake or does it continue…

No problems at all
I cant see any reason with the geo-composite cell soakwells wouldnt be able to do the job for you. As for…

These ''boxes'' that i am referring to ARE soakwells and the depth you need to dig is actually less than the traditional concrete soakwells. These are a preferred install for…

Assuming once again that its a geo-composite cell type soakwell, you drill a hole into any of the sides to suit where your water inlet will be.

You only need a lid if you are using the old concrete soakwell systems. With the new geo-composite systems they are built as a cube, so the lid is inbuilt…

After you have filled the bottom of the hole with blue metal, place your soakwell into the hole, assuming its a poly soakwell you will have it wrapped with geofabric…

Meanwhile, all hail our ranga overlord
I hate to be a fly in the ointment, but the term ''r*nga'' can be quite offensive to some…

Do you mean the deck creaking when you walk on it, or just normal walking traffic?

Well if you watch that clip and STILL put down plastic grass you had better invite Nigel over to hold that digital thermometer to your noggin

I think if you want to be able to make full use of your deck all year round, you will need to cover the entire deck with a flat or…

My vote says leave the full deck, more entertaining area for family and friends. Move the sail to another part of the yard as previously mentioned (reuse and recycle).
Partition between…

Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks are ideal in some situations, bushfire prone areas especially as they have an higher resistance to heat and are considerably stronger than poly.

They really arent that important unless you have a LOT of trees close by dropping leaves. Your tank cant get full of debris as you have a 5 micron mosquito…

Having installed 1000 or so poly tanks, i have never seen or even heard of any Australian made tanks cracking due to age. You may find the VERY rare one…

I love both products for use in an alfresco area. If you have bifold doors i would go with tiling so your indoors becomes outdoors seamlessly, if you have the…

For all the decks in build, i will run the decking boards running vertical to your doors as this gives your eyes a nice smooth path to follow to the…

Very easy to build, a basic frame, then whatever type of decking timber you prefer as the horizontal timbers. The timber pictured is Merbau.

Just built in Mandurah, handover was 6 weeks go. Grew up in Kalamunda, then moved to Canberra for 21 years. Couldnt stay away from this great state for to long,…

Im another happy C*llier homes client. We were more than happy with the entire process of building from choosing the design through to handover (6 weeks ago). We managed to…

Or you dont realise the fine squirt is coming out until your trouser leg is wet!!

The premade manifolds are getting easier to source and buy, but becareful when putting them together that you dont pinch the rubber o'rings inside the fittings otherwise you have a…

But no business name there fu

So i gather this is where im NOT allowed to mention that im a tank agent?

I have never once buried a solenoid in a system i have been fitting out (but have replaced many that have been buried). I do as Fu does

Ive used a Ballarina apple hedge, worked a treat and the fruit was very good after the first 2 seasons. Other than that, there are some gorgeous pittosporums on the…

Just as long as NO-ONE out there in Home Renovation & building Forum land EVER puts in artificial turf. Sure, some of them look the part and there is no…
