Outdoor fabric and fixings

Fence, shed, and gutter kit fails in the wet, at the soil line, and on the wall. These notes are that cluster. I am not opening a building site. I am writing the hardware that sits on a small UK plot and then lets go.

A compost bin against a fence is the same family. The heap is not the product. The box, the lid, and the stain on the neighbour's gravel boards are. That live note is here because the box is outdoor fabric, not because I have started a compost column.

I am pmac. There are no buy links yet. If I later add one, it will be labelled Advertisement.

Notes in this cluster

• Gravel boards rot at the soil line
• A shed hook that actually holds a fork
• A sagging gutter is usually the clips
• A compost bin is a box, not a bag of compost
• Path edging that lifts is usually the frost
• A raised bed that bows is usually the rails
• Shed felt that lifts is usually the nails
• A downpipe that misses the butt is usually the outlet
• A padbolt that will not throw is usually the keep
• A shed hinge that binds is usually the pin
• A hasp that hangs off is usually the coach bolts
• Gravel that sinks is usually the base
• A slab that rocks is usually the bed
• A water butt that stains the path is usually the tap
• A fence post that leans is usually the ground
