What's five days got to do with the price of butter? I went to use my level today that i bought from screwfix and noticed it too had magnetic strips. Hence the update ;)

Yes I know £2.28 is dearer than 99p, but for all those who can't find stock of the Screwfix one- as is the case with most Screwfix clearance deals- it's not a bad second option. You've already responded to this five days ago, so are you just looking for an argument now or what?

2.28 still dearer and btw screwfix one has 4 magnetic strips on it as well. :{

You can paint your fence anytime of the year and you can also complain any time of the year if you do it at the wrong time. Chemistry and physics are essentially constant within its laws - you can paint the fence in winter or summer and have problems or you can paint it in Spring/Autumn and have less problems due to the fact temperature makes a difference in viscosity and absorption along with several other factors. 12-13 degrees in near the lower limits, fine to do, better if it was around 20 degrees

I managed to get the fence done in January when it was around 12-13 degrees. Pressure-washed to get all the green off on day one and stained next day. I wouldn't however buy this watery Ronseal, it's really like coloured water. I use Johnstone's Woodworks Trade (around £10 for 5 Litres) which is much thicker, so does take longer to apply, but lasts much longer

I've had that in the past, Wednesbury B&Q is notorious for this, so are many Argos stores. It is essentially staff seeing it as a deal and cancelling the order so they/family member can buy it. Report it, I did this once with Argos before I stopped shopping their and got a £10 voucher.

ordered online and instore aswell

B&Q first accepted then cancelled my order. The email I received even stated I requested the cancellation! Cold from me

Give them a ring first and get them to check! Saves a wasted journey! They must know my voice by now I'm always ringing them (lol)

Think I'll take a drive. I have two near(ish) me totally opposite directions so have to decide which way to head out!

Not sure on the thickness (I didn't really think to check) but I don't think it was as thin as netting (it looked about the same shape)

Couldn't see any green when I was there so I'm assuming not but you could try ringing and asking, they may have it somewhere else

Any idea how thick that plastic is. It looks closer to net than the usual building site stuff at Screwfix/B&Q. Looking for something as cheap protection for the grass under the kids swing set. This looks like it may do the job, plus easy enough to store and replace as and when.

Despite knowing full well that it is the retailers job to put any issues right under your statutory rights (forget their store policy), this attitude is what retailers rely on. This applies with everything you buy - know your rights, back yourself, use a free complaint website like Resolver to keep your issue and the retailer's responses in writing (making it a 5 minute job to raise the case), and then escalate to an Ombudsman at the earliest opportunity if/when they refuse. An Ombudsman can also award additional compensation for any time you have wasted from their refusal to put this right. The law is so clear on this, yet many fail to enforce the statutory rights they paid for when they bought the item.

How did you install them? I put up 6 in our garden and they are still standing 2 years later, and we live on top of a hill where it's extremely windy. I dug down 2 foot and postcreted new 8ft fence posts in, then in the middle of every 3 panels I screwed in a diagonal brace behind the middle fence post. The braces were 2 more fence posts and were also postcreted in. I used green outdoor screws with 3 brackets each side of each panel. Thing has withstood storm after storm in the windiest place I have ever lived (we moved here 2 years ago, first thing I did was erect a new fence as the previous had blown down).

Make sure you add some wedges between the post and the panel. First it stops wobbles and secondly it makes them harder to steal. Mate woke up one morning and somebody had stolen all 16 panels from the side of his house. :(

I used these 2 years ago, still going strong, used 3 X L shaped fence brackets on each side and they have held up really well, sure there are probably better but if you're in a budget and can install these properly they will last against a storm

Had wooden concreted posts in the fence here for years and no issue. What you talk about are much better but something wrong with what your neighbour is doing if he's replacing so regularly

Wrap the boss up with it. Since it has holes. He can then watch while you spread marmite all over his desk and pour a bucket of snails on his phone and keyboard. . . Is that a step too far?

thanks OP -heat added - just got 1 in my local Homebase - Hatfield.Hertfordshire - they had 4 more left on the shelf .. there was no price on the shelf at all let alone £5 so I guess only people using this site would have known it was £5

:/ must be some use for this when pranking people. Maybe use it to wrap the bosses car? need ideas please.

Sadly the only rats in my house (at the moment!) are the kind that eat the content of your wallet! (annoyed)

I have been trying to think of a reason why I need this to justify why I’m going to buy it anyway. Well now I have: when I or someone drops some food or drink on the floor I’m going to first use this to corden off around it. Then get the dustpan/brush or cloth the sort out the mess. Might get a hi vis coat now

I'm not sure but this is the tub.

£1 in wilko ashford kent today

Damn I was looking for indoor fence paint! ( sorry not funny I know but couldn’t help it! )

This the preserver version?

That's what I said to your misses

Lucky if you find this, stock is very low around the country.

ROFL

It's going to take ages to do a shed or decking area with that. Good at 10p for the small fiddly bits though.

Fantastic deal ! Harris are good brushes too !

Yeah, i saw those too but thot fans of the game might already have those... Cheers.

Defence Zone 1 and 2 in HD also free (y)

Solar? is the sun battery operated too? (excited)

Yes it would probably be fine with thinner paint

I would think not as masonry paint is quite thick unless you thinned it

Anyone know if masonry paint will work in this? It would save me alot of time if it does

If your happy to take the time for a quality finish, use rollers and brushes like any respectable decorator would to get the quality finish!

Helpful comment! Wanna tell us where?
