Fake grass? Or paving if the footfall will be really heavy.

Here's a wall.
What's a good easy way to put some plants on there?
I have some 1" chrome rail from a wardrobe. Brackets etc ?

Or is there a really quick and simple buy this and fit it ?

Thanks in advance

this could be quick and easy with the advantage of individual pots to change if something does not thrive or need replacing. Four pack. There are Cheaper options as well as fancier ones. Or you could DIY something with a wooden pallet

Can all be done with a few lines on pie.

What ever you buy, look at the blade size and prices. Some have odd blade sizes.

Check out second hand prices of 110v if comes with a transformer. I have a wolf, sapphire model circular saw (late 70s early 80s) that has taken a fuck load of abuse from me as I used it badly.

Apologies if I sounded abrupt.
Don't know you well enough to have assumed the unintentional mistake.

As long as you retain the receipt, Aldi/Lidl offer 3 year no-quibble guarantee
and,
may well suit your requirements.
Pick up a set of mixed spare blades at the same time.
That'll save you 2 hours on a Saturday morning.

No you didnt! Dont worry!
I usually have no idea. what I am doing so dont worry, but good spot.

I'm looking at a 50 quid mini hand held one, is this folly? Just for whizzing through some MDF straighter than I manage with my Jigsaw.

Aldi/Lidl are both backed up with hour long queues so swerving them.

How about some kind of ground creeper or moss?

Maybe

Never seen something like that. Cool.

Clamping and sawing guide, also Aldi deliver there tools.

Our fence started flapping about during a windy day. Brace for the last fence post turned out to be held by a single wooden screw into a decking board. Plus it was rotten, having had no runoff. Made a staggered cut, screwed on some new wood, lifted the decking board and screwed the support into the subframe. Post shaped cutout in the board. Solid af. All cuts using a hand saw. Having a smug cup of coffee now!

Never used them myself but seems like a good idea to prevent damage to a building envelope, especially brick.

Well-earned smugness by the look of it.

Are these plastic things a standard size? Got a few windows missing them

Standard(ish) spacing for the holes. Different thicknesses from 3mm through to 6mm.

Cheer for the tip. That’s only gawn an’ worked! Light tap on the top of the screwdriver head and it opened up straight alway.

Spent all day yesterday making these ply lengths.

And all day today (apart from a run out to get more glue) glueing them.

I’ve got an electric planer and a random orbital.

What’s going to be better to get this flat with? There are 0.5-1mm differences all over the thing.

You’re making a floor?
Either way that looks way cool.
