Hi Corie, I just PMd you. We went with Westcoat and found them great. I agree that a good roof repaint in the right colour brings a house up to date. Id be careful with a painter if they dont have much experience with roofs – you might end up with more cracked tiles and headaches than is worth it.

personally I would not recommend using colourbound sheeting for a retaining wall as it is way to flexible, it may be fine if you have stable and solid ground but I would never give a guarantee if a client asked me to build a wall out of it. A proper wall built out of H5 grade treated pine sleepers should last a minimum of 20 years with 50 to 70 years not being out of question.

Thanks clars83, good to know

Yep you cant go wrong with some sheers now, but if you need the privacy or if its a half window (not down to ground) maybe try some roman blinds or roller blinds which are more modern

We just had a couple of fencing guys in to our ppor saying that we would need a retaining wall after our fence blew down in a storm. One guy said that he used treated pine for the retaining wall, while the other said they cut a piece of the colourbond fence horizontally to size for the wall and then build the fence on top of that. Didnt seem to be too much difference in price between the two and Im assuming the colourbond sheeting would last longer than the treated pine?
