Am I right in thinking I can have fencing up to 2m (as not adjacent to a highway and, although we are in national park, we are not in an Article 4 area)? If I use 1.9m fencing to create a rectangle run, eg 15 ft by 25ft, is this still classed as fencing or does it become a structure? Posts...

I have never really rigured out the best way to put out a fence with mine. 1. Drive round unreeling wire. Throw posts off whilst travelling. Put corner posts up. Put the reels on the end post. Then walk right round again putting the posts in and wire. Then tension. 2. Drive 50 metres throwing...

I've got a building with a lean to which I've always assumed had an asbestos roof. I had the son of the previous owner here today and he thinks the lean to is fibre cement. Is there an easy way of telling the difference?

I think my compressor has finally died. I replaced the electric motor year ago and that still turns the pump, but there is no noise of pumping and no air flow. I've poked around at valves and pressure switches and can only think it's old age. Time to get a new one. The choice of compressors is...
