There ya go
That's it.i d make the big wheel a little smaller maybe
Brilliant thanks. This is exactly what I need. I'm going to make a plan.
there seems to be a few handy fellas in this forum so I’ll pick your Brains and see can ye help me out!
I have a shed (built in 2008) and I have an issue with a leaking sheeting on the roof.
where the sheeting comes down to meet the eve run, the final timber is soaking any time it rains. The sheeting is non drip so some of the felt on it is wet also, the last 4 inches of it is free of felt.
so the first thought is the eve run is full and water is flowing back onto the timber but I checked that and that’s not the case, the sheeting seems to have enough over hang into the eve run so I can’t see how the water is getting back to the timber,
has anyone seen anything like this before?
Is the gutter facing the southwest if it is it could be the rain hitting the timber. Is it the felt based non drip in a cattle shed
That’s side of the shed is facing east/north east so doesn’t get much rain from that side.
ya it’s felt on underside of sheets but it’s wet today and no stock in the shed !
Did you get a look at it from the top.
What's the best way to bend a 2" steel mesh sheet by hand by about 90 degrees?
Along the 8' or 4' side? If the 4' what about between a heavy gate and the rsj it's hanging off
It's the 8 foot I to bend. Was thinking of putting a 4x2 on it and then driving the car onto that...
If you have slats you can put it down inw if the opening ideally between the agitation cover and the first slat, you will need at least one other person and stand on it. As you get it's slightly bend use the loader with a closed grab or any heavy weight
If you do not need the corner to be strong just give the bending line a light run of an angle grinder or even cut every second one of the bars
Can you G clamp it to a bench with a length of L iron? Then start in the middle with a hammer and work outwards.
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately it's basic here😂😂, don't have slats, a loader or a bench big enough to clamp it to. I'll try something and let you know...
Ask a neighbour could you bend it in there shed. Most are accommodating and will be only interested to see it. The bit of a chat and a bit do craic. Job could take 10 mins, but you could be gone for 2 hours.
If it was me I would screw 2 length so timber together, one at each side of the mesh, drop the long length side through the slat and bend it with the lump hammer back to one side of the timber.
Another way it's the clamp the mesh to a pillar of a shed and bend it around it
If you could slide it between something like a gate and a wall or some narrow space, then use two ratchet straps to have pressure on it and a lump hammer at the corners to persuade it.
He could bring it to a shed builder or steel works and get them to bend it in their press.
Bring to the local agri contractor he will bend it with the loader bucket
Hit along the line of the bend with a cold chisel.
Hi @Ginger83 are you getting anywhere with this now? Have Diageo been back to you?
Hi no word from them so I hope to have something made that might work
I hope so too! Please let us know if you get something working. Just sorry that I'm unable to personally help with this.
You'd be as quick to cut it and reweld
Ya so the rain seems to run down fine into the eve run, all the nails in the sheeting have their rubber washer and they are in the ridge of the sheet so should be fine! It’s almost as if the water is getting to the edge of the sheet and tracking back up under it onto the timber like the timber is dripping water it’s not just damp so something is a miss
Is there a damp proof sheet on top of the time that droops into the channel?
If you look up capillary action on roofs you should find a solution.
Is the felt underside of the sheeting damp above away from the end timber purlin?
Is the there damp proof strips put on the other timbers and not above this one?
Is that last timber under felt underside of the sheeting or the bare metal sheeting?
I'm leaning towards condensation coming down the undersides of the sheets and not enough ventilation to dry it off.
I'm with the ventilation theory. Had a small shed up a few years ago and had foamy stuff under the ridges to stop a breeze getting in. Timbers were sopping wet until we took that stuff out
I had to re-roof my house because of that sh1te. It's no good as it stops the timber breathing.
Yes but:
"I have a shed (built in 2008) and I have an issue with a leaking sheeting on the roof.
where the sheeting comes down to meet the eve run, the final timber is soaking any time it rains. "
I'd imagine if it was condensation it would most likely be in cold weather, if it's in rainy weather I'd go with capilliry action.
And this;
"the last 4 inches of it is free of felt."
Could it be an inadequate overlap further up?
A regular but annoying job on most farms - replacing a broken handle on a fork or shovel. handle wasn't even rotten, I snapped it on the back of the tractor when turning.
Well, did this one today with little effort. Firstly, I drilled out the centre of the old handle with a large drill bit. I then used the scribber with with the hooked end down the drilled hole and out popped the whole lot. Now I had the fork end in a shed for a while so maybe it dried out and shrinked a bit. I remember my father years ago burning these out in a fire.
Anyway might save someone some hassle, some day.
That's a grape 🙈
