fluffy chick Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 10cm no wonder the old one leaked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'm still leaking - but can't seem to find a definate 'entrance' point. Next week when youngest is in school I will be having a go at levelling the ground it sits on & try that. I did think it was coming in the front at the pop hole but I've pulled the perspex cover so high up now, that it can't be that. I am so glad you've got yours sorted. (ps 10cm is a huge variance - quite unbelievable really.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Translate to just over a inch. To hell with metric we are British!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Did Omlet explain why there was such a huge difference in size? Makes me think they are aware of a problem, but 10 cm that is not accidental, surely they have had to make different moulds?????? Very strange! My cube leaks less since I have stretched nylon rope around it and pulled tight on a bunge, I think my panels must be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Translate to just over a inch. To hell with metric we are British!! 10cm is almost 4 inches, which do you mean, 1 inch (2.5cm) or 10 cm (3.9 inches)? I work in metric myself!

malcolm Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Teh old panel measured 117 cm the new one 118.5cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh right, that is only 1.5cm (just over half an inch) difference, that's not much really and within the normal range I'd think. So no big conspiracy going on then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffs Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 so it wasn't 10cm or an inch? it was 1.5cm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Iam not making any more listings on the backpanel gap. I have a problem with metric as you can see. The gap on the old panel was over a english inch and caused the leak ( look at before and after photos) Omlet have sorteds the problem so Iam happy. Hope other leakers now get sorted.

I'm so glad you got there in the end - no matter really what the measurement was, its working now which is the only important thing.

Henergy Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well now Malcolm is sorted, I have been putting my mind to my leaky cube issue. I decided that the only route now was to dismantle completely, move it, dig out & level the ground & reassemble !!!! And so I chose today (hottest day for ages ) Well it took ages, the skirt had grown into the grass, I had to remove all the woodchip etc etc. Digging out was a nightmare with 4 nosey chickens who wanted to just eat all the worms. It was boiling hot. But I have done it - I am not sure if its worked re: the water issue, but it certainly looks much straighter. I was going to hose & test, but the ground was so churned up with my wellies that I decided against making it a mud bath too !!!! I am shattered but I am so hoping its done the trick. I will report back ............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
