I reckon you could do something like that, each pallet has 2 edges with mesh and a door section, lined up (imagine my sketch as it is without the missing side added). My piles are maybe half pallet width thick, but angled so the wind blows all the way along, it wouldn't concern me too much having a long line of these set up. If you were moving them on a Friday afternoon before the pub I'd perhaps put some more pallet wood across ways, half height and top height? to add some strength to each side. Thinking of that, might need to look tomorrow, I wonder how many slats you would need to use to hold it in place instead of mesh - using what comes to hand you see. Heavier, but sturdier, maybe cheaper build but more time consuming removing the slats in one piece (discounting just bunging pallets together, which would be heavy and I've never found a way I am happy to fix them together) Quick comment on the circular ones... outdoor space is a premium so while circle is more efficient mesh / volume there are the missing corners that the pallets use up... costs a little more in materials but uses up less land area. All I need to do is finish one or 2 of the other 100 projects on the go just now to make space to try this.

Shouldn't unseated princes be raising armies and marching on London?

That was where his problems came from, an inability to understand what he can yak to his mates about, and what he can’t.

Maybe it's nostril hair, maybe it's Bolivian marching powder. Whoever took that photo is probably set for life.

Can't help with that question, sorry, but a 14hp Husqvarna rider will tow a 12m Niftylift MEWP on grass! 😂

My thoughts were that it looks like someone who doesn't have English as a first language, possibly Eastern European?

Its got that sorta shape to but I have been wrong before .

As a colleague said to me once: "I think brakes are vastly overrated"

They are designed for it. My Hilux tows 3,500kg regularly, no problem at all. Rangers to the same I am sure. No offence, but this almost looks like a bot posting. Don't know if anyone else feels that way?

Why not Dm him Pat? That is what the message asks.

I used to use some modified instructions from speaking with other experienced splicers. I am away at the moment and(also) haven’t spliced for a couple of years. I would have to have a look in my splicing manual which is back at home as I had all the modifications and measurements written in that. The main take away was the splices were break tested by other people and were stronger or as strong as the original instructions but the final bury and cover taper made it easier to finish the splices.

I expect he is singing like a canary 😀

So basically a metal mesh on top of a pallet that won't rot. So basically an IBC, there was a guy on YouTube that even cut out one rung section on the front for access.

It does look like the Echo if you squint.

While I do not feel at all sad for him, I do wonder how many more politicians will cone under the spot light for improper conduct in public office? He cannot be the only one to forward information to an unauthorised recipient surely?

Had an idea that they gad 500kg capacity? They might tow okay but it is the stopping that can be fun!

Little hedge

Well, Starlink finally arrived early Feb; and a few days ago I got a moment to put it on the roof. Pretty simple really. I now have super fast broadband at work. Had to download the app to my phone but the kit was automatically linked to it, so all I had to do was plug it in and choose a name and password. Not going to get the landline transferred for a few weeks - but the indications are it is fast and reliable. Most important it is not weather dependant. Download speed 100mbs which is what it is capped at as I have the cheapest package. Ten out of ten so far.

I like the basic concept of Steven P's diagram, and following on from other pictures, I wonder if portability is a high priority? Some of them don't look built to be thrown about by a teleporter who's in a rush to get down the pub for a swift one. 🙂 I wonder if Steven's basic design could be adapted to minimise wire usage, at the expense of active drying area? I can't do pretty diagrams, but imagine if a line of his model were created. Basically, just adding three meshes to his first one, ad infinitum? You could then just use one piece of mesh for the back, and you'd still have separate sections. Downsides are it would be a permanent fixture, and less efficient at drying. Just a thought.

Interesting read.

Hi there! I cant make decision.. which car to buy for towing.(excavator) Trailer 3500kg (+200kg-overweight) When its digging season i must tow very often. I thinking that,maybe trucks like hilux,ranger are too light trucks for that? No good for gearbox? Whats your opinion?

'You can't fatten up a pig on market day' - how Ben Wallace tried (unsuccessfully) to get Zelensky to prepare for a Russian invasion in the November before the invasion. In mid-November, the British defence secretary, Ben Wallace, visited Kyiv and told Zelenskyy London believed a Russian invasion was now a matter of “when”, not “if”. He urged Zelenskyy to start preparing the country for war. “You can’t fatten up a pig on market day,” Wallace told the Ukrainian president, according to a source briefed on the meeting.
