i think 150 is minimum needed for snow foam lance.

Ah i see..won't work with lower pressure at all?
 
Bear in mind 150bar will be peak pressure. Bit unlikely from an electric washer but maybe theyre improving.

i'm Not sure dagnut?
 
Nearly any power washer will do the job mate, anything around 100bar would be enough doesn't necessarily need to be that high pressure :thumbsup:

Looks a good deal on the lidl one, just be sure not to stray too close to the paint :icon_lol: .. I think my own karcher is finally starting to slow down after about 10 years, gonna keep it going till the end though :049:

Get some pics and details of the build up in the members section, would love to see the progress as I plan on building my own at some stage. What size are you building?
 
30 by 30. going to steel frame job sheeted non drip roof. bolt girders to base and block wall about six foot high between girders sheet up the rest of the height and one roller door fifteen foot wide. i was pricing to do all block and timber roof but was gettin expensive.
 
might as well only goin to get one chance at it. hopefully shouldn' t be to bad in the winter. a good blow heater would take the chill out of it quick enough. no plans to have it heated maybe slab the walls if i can pick it up handy.

The handpiece cracks, known fault after a while.
 
Yea
I got one from them a while back, reliable enough except now the handle is cracked and leaking
Trying to find a replacement the last month
Don't want to use a different one cause I'd have to change the connectors on snow foam lances etc too
 
sh*t, thought i had my mind made up not sure now, cheers for the info lads, any luck with getting a replacment handle

hey mate, from experience you wont beat a block wall with timber roof and not an awful difference in price from steel frame. The problem with the steel frame and cladding is condensation, even with non drip cladding the moisture builds up and flows to the timber purlins and tends to drop.
Starting a shed myself and going with a double leaf block with cavity and traditional roof.
