Pallet Wood Fence and Gate DIY Build (with Planter on Top)
I had a limited budget to build a fence so bought 6 old pallets for £25. Watch how I turned them into a gate and fence with planter along the top. A much cheaper alternative to buying new wood and better for the environment too.

DIY Outdoor Rabbit Run (Garden Enclosure for Exercise)
Переглядів 15 тис.3 роки тому
My latest project has been to build an outdoor run for my two rabbits. I used 2.4m lengths of CLS studwork timber to make the frame. I protected the wood with Cuprinol Garden Shades paint in seagrass colour. To the frame I attached 13mm welded wire mesh made from 16g wire. Several of the panels are joined by hinges so the parts can be folded up and stored during the winter when it's not getting...
Old Solid Brass Garden Sprayer Restoration
Переглядів 2,2 тис.4 роки тому
This vintage brass garden sprayer was made in the 1940s by Donald Edward Ltd in Birmingham, England. When I received it, the pump wasn't working and there was lots of tarnish and grime from years of use. Watch to see how I restored the brass and repaired the pump. I think this would be ideal in the garden or greenhouse for spraying plants with water but please let me know in the comments if you...
Vintage Hand Cranked Grinder Restoration
Переглядів 6624 роки тому
This is my first restoration video of this type so I would love to hear what you think. I'm a big fan of watching restoration videos of rusty objects being restored back to working condition so I decided to start work on some of my own projects. So for my first restore I'm starting with this hand cranked grinder. Most of it was in poor condition after what looks like many years of use, and requ...
How to kill weeds naturally with Roundup Naturals
Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 роки тому
See if Roundup Naturals, a Gyphosate-free weedkiller, is effective at killing weeds. Every gardener has to deal to with unwanted weeds but many are not happy using weed killers that contain Glyphosate. Roundup Naturals is an alternative that contains Pelargonic acid as an alternative. I'm doing a two-week test to see if it works. Products I used when making this video: These are paid affiliate ...
Decking Restoration using Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain (Silver Birch)
Переглядів 50 тис.4 роки тому
My recent project using Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain in the Silver Birch Colour to transform my old weathered decking. The decking wood had been stained with light brown and neutral oils and stains in the past (the deck was made with reclaimed boards) and so had a patchy and stained look to it. I was looking for a stain that would cover well and brighten it up so I chose a different colour ...

Hello and thank you for the excellent video = you gave me the courage to build a greenhouse. Karel / Czech Republic / Děčín
Thankyou Sir Video Looks Good For me to with COPD
why are u using a leveler for every side part ur installing? the holes are pre-drilled and it will stay steady after all the parts are installed correct?
😊
Alot going on but no instructions like how is the poly carb fixed in place
Weed control fabric maybe also ...... 🤔... 4 years since you did this .... I'd really be interested to know how it's doing now?
@3:18 or so you are putting up the door frame but you have already assembled parts 7311 & 8378 using the 4045 screws. Did you simply drill the screws through at the indentations? This seems incredibly hard.
This was really helpful too!
This was really helpful! Thank you!
How did you manage to get your screws in? You can't go in straight because of the lip
Sorry should have said when anchoring to the base
If you choose paint on decking,you are going to have to repaint almost every year.
Wow! Can u do my shed. That's great..
What’s the measurements
Skip the annoying music ! Just talk
HI Kyle I have bought this exact greenhouses but the opening window seems to just sit at the top on a ledge and no hinges so just keeps falling out when you open it etc any advice appreciated.
How long did you leavd between coats?
I have to do this every dam year. Cost a fortune 🤦
Thanks
Thank you it was helpfull ! I watched your previous video on how to build a base to your greenhouse cause that's the method i wanted to use and i didn't realised i bought the exact same greenhouse ( in green) so watching this video i thought ''well it looks familiar'' 😅
I'd be worried about that. Bit of a sub base and a go with a garden roller at least I think. I mean, your putting a greenhouse on top of it. You want to get a few years out it. Unless you're building the greenhouse to anchor into the grass around the slabs and can always redo them if you need to I wouldn't trust it
This how I intend on doing our shed base, has your base held up OK? Thanks for the video btw
May I ask what the name and color of that stain you used? Very nice 😊
So pleased I found your great video.. thank you. How have you found this greenhouse through the stormy weather ?
Definitely resourceful use of generic pallets
I liked your video,will it be safe to use cement on vegetable garden? Can I have a greenhouse without the slab base?
Everyone I see drills the pump cord on the bottom why not drill that hole above the water line so you don't have to make sure its water leak proof.
Hi, i am located in India how can I purchase this product,does it contain any building manual ?
me encanta !!!
I purchased the Harmony , and what a load of rubbish nothing lined up , bits missing and the plastic panels were cut badly they would not fit so I had to cut them again to fit , Im stuck with it now waste of money.
Would you consider running the pallet board once at least through a planer?
You need hard-core this is wrong advice
Great help, me and my son want to get a shed and i didn't have a clue how to build a base, what type of sand did you use pls? Would appreciate it if you can get back to me, thanks, J
Glad I found this video , as thinking of getting one of the polycarbonate green houses in the new year
Smashing job
Nice
I found it quite amusing. Could have been edited to 10% of the length. Most people know how to use a broom. Should have been 10 secs, sweep away leaves, 20 secs jet wash, 15 secs paint deck, 10 secs paint hand rail then 20 secs showing dried first coat and then the same panning around the finished effort with some close ups of the finish.
My window falls down l was hoping to see if I'd missed something but like the previous person wrote, no close ups 😕
Having a hard time finding a video that actually shows how to assemble the top triangle oieces above the door.
Did you find anything? We are stumped
Just done mine with this exact same stain, the colour is really vivid and has totally revived my tired old deck, excellent product
Really nicely done!
nicely done
Can anyone suggest a brush or roller or pad for a larger decking area. About 20ft x 15ft
I think for a basic shed/greenhouse with a life expectancy over 5 years you need a slightly better base than this. You don't need 10cm hardcore whackered, you're not building a driveway! But you will need probably somewhere between 3-5cm of compacted MOT under a dry mix like this for it to last 5-10 years min. If you're renting though or moving in the next few years this will do.
mine has lasted 20 years.. pavers 12x12 over screening..
how come you are not wetting the mix isn't just sand good enough in this case, as cements just pretty much dust in comparison to sand.
No it needs deeper, I would recommend at least half a meter of aggregate and then at least 1 foot of sand and cement mixed 3 parts Sand to 1 part cement and then of top of that 3 layers of tiles with cement between them all, and a week to dry inbetween each layer. Then once that’s done get some gypsies in to tarmac 30cm of tarmac onto it, then above that 2 more layers of tiles and some sand and cement on the corners. Then on top of that a pressure treated wooden base and then a metal shed base. Then finally a teak or oak flooring. Then once you’ve done that can put some marble tiles on top. Then your shed is ready to be constructed with a a few more pressure treated wooden bases on top, and a damp proof course, then two more layers of oak planks and a few railway sleepers. It should last at least 4 to 5 years.
@Kyle Do you have a video of making the concrete pad shown in this video? I did budget for a 4" concrete pad but wondering if what you did would suffice and the cost difference. thanks
Hi Kyle, Thank you +++for this really helpful video- I have watched it many times and it meant we have built our Palram relatively effortlessly. Please can I ask do you have any problem with the door tending to not fully close at the top even when the magnet on the bottom is engaged with the base? My husband has solved it for now with a large metal paper clip which is doing the job brilliantly but I wonder if anyone else has a similar issue
Mine only has the magnet for holding the door open and haven't had any trouble with it closing completely. When the handle is closed it is flush all the way round
@@ADashofDIY Thank you for replying. I'm not sure why my door doesn't quite close at the top without.a bit of extra help but it's only a minor niggle.
thanks for sharing. I need to cut a slit on top of a stripped screw (damaged by using Phillips screwdriver) so I can unscrew it with a flat-up screwdriver. Will still cut the screw? thanks
Yes, perfect tool for this
you have done the same mistaken as me the corner posts are wrong in your video they are 996 parts should be 9802 ones you have put in are for the roof they have locating holes the corner uprights have none ,be honest and tell the truth
Hi, I have one of these and have only done the base so far (bought kit Sept 2022). I have an instruction manual from the internet that mentions Part 9802 BUT the actual manual that came with the greenhouse itself does not mention this part number at all. On page 3 of the included manual it shows part 996 going at the four corners. It then uses the further four part 996s for the gable ends above the door and back of the house( pages 22-27).This manual lists a total of 8 part 996s being included in the kit. The mention of 9802 confused me and I initially thought I didn't have all the parts until I looked at the included, presumably most up to date, manual. Looking at other videos of Palram greenhouse construction the mechanism of some parts fitting together does appear to have changed over time.
@@susanstebbing4847 susan the four corner posts have no holes the nuts are retained in the groove there are only 4 9802s 996 parts with the holes are the 4 upright gable angles
@@davidredpath5922 I have just completed my build-it seems to have gone together correctly. As I said the manual with my Sept 2022 house makes no mention of parts 9802 anywhere. . The kit included eight parts 996 as listed in the included manual which are the four corner uprights and the four gable ends. I think Palram must have altered the kit
@@susanstebbing4847 if there are 8 996s thats ok fine mine had 4 of each
What was the name of the cement tiles you used. The size in cm
