Deck and fire pit transformation
We recently transformed this dilapidated old deck and concrete pad into a beautiful user friendly outdoor entertaining area.
The old deck was white ant ridden and falling apart you could barely walk on it without the risk of falling through it. So we ripped it out and disposed of it and re built the new deck using @timberdeckingperth timber composite decking.

Does gutter guard work?
มุมมอง 3613 ปีที่แล้ว
A genuine review on the gutter guard product. Is it really worth it? I don’t believe it is. But if you think differently feel free to leave a comment. It has been my experience when cleaning gutters that no matter what type of gutter guard product is in there they seem to just collect debris which consequently holds the moisture underneath them causing the gutters to rust out over time.

Exactly what im about to attempt, thanks mate.
Nice 👍🏻 how did you go with it?
About to install my soak well. This video was very helpful thank you
Thanks for the feedback mate glad it could help. How did you go with it?
Do you just use 90° bend? I though it’d have to be 45° for the water to flow
Hey mate thanks for the comment. As long as there is fall after that 90degree elbow it’s not an issue
wy no.one talks about which way the grills should going..up.or down and which side?
Thank you very much for the uploads. Clear and helpful. Great 👍!
You're very welcome! Thanks a lot for the feedback I appreciate it 👍🏻
I thought you werent supposed to wrap underneath the cage to allow water egress
Hey Mate thanks for the comment. You definitely need to wrap the cell completely otherwise it will fill up with sand and become useless in no time at all. The geo felt let’s water out through it whilst stopping the sand coming in
Thanks for the video. Is it necessary to double-stack them? Or is a single one ok for an install under pavers?
How more issues?
Hi, It would be better if you fill hole with gravel or stone .
Yep that’s a fair call and sometimes I do just depends on the space I have to work with but it’s not 100% necessary as the sand drains just as well here in WA without the blue metal/ gravel
Thanks for the video, friend. Do you think it'd be alright if I installed two of these? One at the top and one at the bottom of a hollow interior door just like yours?
Gday mate. Thanks for the comment. Yeah I can’t really see why it would be an issue to install 2. I guess the biggest thing that would be affected would be the aesthetic look
@@thatsmaintenance2054 Thank you very much! All the best.
Great video mate, i use the same type of soakwells but ive noticed that the geo mesh they provide gets clogged up over time and slows down the water getting through it, i see you wrap the whole box in the mesh even the bottom, you have never had issues? I usually leave the bottom open now which sits in the stones but i would rather wrap the whole box like you do but afraid of the above happening down the track.
Gday mate thanks for the feedback I appreciate it 👍🏻 I have never had any issues with the geo felt clogging up the only thing I can suggest that maybe the capacity of soakwell is not adequate for the volume of water coming off the roof space in a heavy downpour if you are finding that the water is backing up. I have always fully wrapped and sealed the storm water pipe inlet to avoid sand getting in there and clogging it up aswell. I hope that helps? If not please let me know
@@thatsmaintenance2054 ok good to know mate.
@@thatsmaintenance2054hi mate, how to seal the storm water pipe inlet?
Hey mate, how do you find the durability of the plastic soak well? Hoping the weight wouldn't crush it!
Hey mate nah weight isn’t an issue these units are designed to be trafficable you can put them under driveways and drive over them and it’s not an issue.
Where you buy kit from?
Hey Troy where are you located? I bought mine from a place called Novaplas in Canningvale but you can buy these kits from Bunnings now aswell.
Thanks man just got from bunnings today. Think big 😆 cheers
@@troyperham6677 awesome mate 👍🏻 good luck
Great Video. I have 3 Doors including a Bathroom Door I would like to add Vents to. Would it be okay to put the Vents at the Top of the Door instead of the Bottom? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate I appreciate the feedback. Yeah look I don’t think it really matters where you put the vents it purely comes down to asthetics
Novaplas, WA made. I used a 90mm diamond holesaw to cut opening, but any will do, I just had it after drilling an overflow hole from existing concrete soak to 4 x Novaplas soaks joined together to supplement it . Overflow drilled 90mm lower than inlet. It was one mofo of a hole to be dug deep enough though with just shovel. About 4000 paver bricks lifted for poured limestone upgrade so I did not have to give a shit about being overly tidy lol.
Nice one 👍🏻
Awesome video. I'm in Perth and the original soakwell under the liquid limestone patio is blocked by tree roots so the patio gets flooded when it rains or when the evaporative aircon dumps the water tank. luckily the downpipe is at the border between liquid limestone and pavers so i'll be able to put a plastic soakwell under the pavers and connect a pipe to the existing grill. Thanks for video!
Hey mate thanks for the comment, I appreciate the feedback and glad I could help 🙌🏻
Hi great video. Where can I get the soakwell kit that you are demonstrating? Thanks
Gday Eric thanks for the comment. Where are you located?
If you guys ever need a hand feel to get in touch via my Facebook page @thats maintenance
Great video. Very helpful 👍👍
Thanks a lot for the feedback mate much appreciated
Did you use a jig saw to make the cut in the door?
Yeah I did mate
seems very easy, however the vent that I bought didn't come with any screws to hold the 2 sides together, so what do I do in that case? Do i use liquid nails or something?
Hi Godfrey thanks for the comment mate. It is very easy and they should lock into each other and hold each other in position but if you are worried about it you could definitely use liquid nails or the like or you could pick up some generic screws to suit aswell and pre drill your own holes if not already there. I hope this helps
Hey mate, Could you describe how the in-ground PVC pipe 'connects' to the soak well? I initially thought they came with holes or something like that.
Hey mate thanks for the comment mate. Yep unfortunately they don’t come with pre cut holes so you have to cut your own. I usually use my Recip saw or jigsaw to this and then slide the pipe into the cell then tape up the Geo felt to the pipe work to stop sand getting in. Hope that helps?
@@martysaussieadventuresyork2778 thanks for the feedback. Also thanks for uploading!
Hi , so the pipe and soak well you installed are to divert the water coming from the downpipe and house roof? Isnt it required to have a underground stormwater pipe to connect the downpipe and street outlet? Given so much stormwater from the roof, I wonder if the soak well is big enough. We have One downpipe connecting to very long underground drain pipe, but the height and ditch are all wrong, it would be very expensive to change that. Now after this video, we are just thinking if we could simply use soakwell system so we could abandon that particular long undergound drain pipe (for that downpipe.) . Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much.
Gday mate where are you located? You could definitely abandon the pipe work that is existing and install a new soak-well/s and pipe work for that down pipe you will just need to make sure that the soak-well/s are large enough to handle the volume of water by calculating the surface area of that section of roof space. Hope that helps? If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask or you can DM me on my Facebook page @thats maintenance
@@martysaussieadventuresyork2778 Thanks ! will DM you on Facebook
Something I've noticed in Perth vs say Melbourne - Vic suburban design philosophy is safely divert rainwater to kerb / street outlet like you said. Within WA, at least in Perth the council philosophy is make the home owner deal with it, council will look after rain falling on their side of the fence. Probably aided by Perth being very sandy.
good job
Thank you 😊
Hey nice job. Where again did you get the vents at?
Hey Samuel thanks mate. I just picked it up from my Local Bunnings hardware store .
I'm lying in the gutter and looking up at a youtube star!
Hahaha not yet mate but hopefully one day
