UK DIY, from the inside
The work that gets covered up.
Clean 3D cutaways of what is really happening under the grass, behind the wall and inside the hole when you build a fence, a deck, panelling or shelves. Every depth, spacing and setting time comes from the manufacturer or the regulator, so you do the job once.
Latest: How to Install a Fence Post with Postcrete. Depth, hole size, gravel, level and the water-first Postcrete pour, shown in section.
Shown in section
The ground is sliced open so you can see the hole, the gravel and the pour, not a pair of hands blocking the view.
Every number sourced
Depths from the HSE, setting times from the datasheet, height limits from the planning rules. The sources are listed under every video.
A materials list for every job
A printable list and a calculator that works out quantities for your fence, not the one in the video.
