As does mine

I think we will have to agree to disagree on that.

That first picture looks like a composite door🤔.

With those dimensions I would consider making a frame with a side panel or even 2, to get a sensible width of door, I would be a bit concerned that a stable door at that width will certainly drop.

Curious to know what your going to do with a 5.4 m length of C24, is this for your garage conversion you previously posted. I use these lengths of timber regularly mostly for roofing jobs, whilst no help in your area, I don't have an issue buying them in Norfolk, most builders merchants should...

Couple of thoughts, how big is the structural opening width? Am I right that your frame Jambs will be 125mm square, that is a lot of timber, and takes up a lot of the door opening width. How thick will the door/s be? (I make mine @ 57mm) if you make the perimeter margin too small it will need...

I've always been a skeptic of damp treatments, in my own experience, in my 19th century cottage with solid 9" walls, we had damp appearing at low level, after 20 years of living here without any signs, got hold of a damp expert his answer was Rising damp, because of no DPC, recommended the dry...

Took a big shed down a couple of weeks ago. used my Makita recip saw with a metal cutting blade fitted to cut through all the nails, just jammed a wedge in between the studs to open them up enough to get the blade in took seconds to whip through them, with no damage, a lot quicker than a Fein...

@ChaiLatte thanks, I had just sussed it, it is Swedish! I can carry on with my learning curve.

Good practice is to keep timber elements 150mm above the ground level in order to avoid splashing and therefore premature decay.

Can someone give me sanity check and look at these 2 equations, I can't get the same answers as they show: This one is slightly different, for nails: I'm clearly not understanding how the 6 over the 4 sqrd is applied, I presumed its just a power to convert by 1000.

All the time, not necessarily for the purpose they are meant for though:

I was in book 2 page 36 from here: Timber structures which is written as Eurocode 5. That's the next problem! I've been all over the web, I can find lots of answered equations and the same formulas, but not clarity and detail of the workings, I am also working them in SMath rather than a...

For my own curiosity I am trying to rationalise these equations for the strength of a bolted timber to timber connection. My questions are probably simple for some, but would like to seek some clarity as to the actual number values I am dealing with and which should be allocated to the...

I only order what I need, I said lump £ sum, but I worked that out, based on their prices per/m and stock availability at the time. For instance, I needed 13 off 63x100 @ 1.6M long, the only viable length to buy it in was 3.6M, so instantly wasting 0.4M @ £18.00/M so about £7.00's worth on...

I would be talking to the supplier as to what they hold in stock sizes and quantity, pricing Accoya isn't that easy as it comes, as @Doug71 said, in section sizes but also in given lengths, so that needs to factored in. I recently priced an Accoya job based on my cutting list needs, but then...

On the back of what they are doing, I'm seriously considering buying one.

@Bingy man Have you installed one of these before? my past experience of a similar solution (client supplied) wasn't good, in fact the cardboard box it came in was more stable than the shower structure, needless to say it went back in the box, and sent back. Then to the other extreme did a fit...

Very interesting, look forward to watching this.

Not sure if this link will work, but interesting method of planing a beam:
