Yes, I am happy so far.

Next step is 4 steel cabinets on the weekend for the 19th December.

They will form a rear wall and storage, plus two at 1.5 meter tall to go next to the door.



Right team.


LED Strip/Ribbon lighting.


Today’s technical question is around the parts needed, and effective fitting of LED ribbon lights.


I have an idea, and it needs to be done.

Using LED strip light, to look like Neon lighting from a,distance at the top of the carport structure.

Specifically the red board only, I contemplated the upright posts in red or green, but then it may end up being too Christmassy.

I seen you can but 5 meters of non waterproof strip for as little as £6.00 from,China, up to local, waterproof strip from Essex for £14.00

This excludes transformer, connectors etc. I do have a nice 12 volt transformer in the garage, waiting for a job.


So this is the red board, either on the lower edge, or even behind or just below the roof sheets, but I think behind makes more sense.





Advice,,tips, links, experience, guidance appreciated

I have not been to my local TLC electrical wholesaler yet.

Thanks.
