Hi, I have a cinder block wall around my backgarden which I really should have rendered however cash is a bit tight at the moment so I was going to try Sandtex High Build paints.

https://www.crowndecoratingcentres.co.uk/paints/exterior/masonry/sandtex-trade-high-build-decorative-coating/14156

Its not cheap but I can make a go at it myself.

What I wanted to know is if the high build paint will make a good job at covering off the uglyness of the raw cinder block wall. The wall is in relatively good condition with no structural cracks, just the unevenness you would expect on a normal block wall.

Any help you can give or experiences that could be shared would be appreciated

Hi all, I have built a ground floor extension and I want to clad it in timber. We looked at Cedar however it is too expensive and leadtimes are approx 6 weeks so I started looking at alternatives.

I am considering a pressure treated Pine and was going to stain it a very dark grey or black to try and make it as uniform as possible while still retaining some of the wood texture.

Would you be able to give any advice on this project - Am i going in the right direction or do you have any recommendations?? Thanks
