Holy thread resurrection!

Lovely job (thanks for the link). Can I ask who you sourced the bifold doors from and how you are getting on with them so far?

Also where you have the patio side brickwork abutting the house, is there a vertical DPC in that mortar?

Thank 48k

I got all the glazing from KentBlaxill in Colchester. Pretty terrible experience if i am honest

We like the bifolds but i wish we had larger glass panels which slide across rather than bifolds now but that's my personal preference

Yes there is dpc vertically between the outside property brick and the gully and stones i built in.
In a couple of the photos on the 1st page you can see the dpc which has fallen on the concrete gully before i added the stones

Thanks

What have you done at the end of the channels? I can see in an earlier picture you have built the bricks right to the wall (is this not bridging the dpc?).

I am planning on filling mine with gravel, but it will just fill out and overflow at the channel ends.
