Product Information

Use the saw to cut the rawlplug off at floor level, as if you were filling a hole. Repeat this with all the holes you’ve drilled. You should now have holes filled with dowel rod, ready to accept the fixing nails of your gripper bar. Get your hammer, and hammer those fixing nails into the dowel rods.

It’s easier to compare the intent of your staples and nails rather than the blunt strength. That’s because staples have a larger head than nails and include two limbs specifically designed to hold things together. So, even though staples are thinner, they can sometimes be stronger. Grab a dry neutral-coloured towel and blot the wet patch of carpet with it – extract moisture from the floor.

Tackfast Gripper

Using your pencil, draw marks on the floor where the nails are positioned – in other words, exactly where you want your gripper rod installed. Old nail polish, in particular, loves to leave marks on carpets and rugs and is normally quite difficult to remove. They are fixed around the perimeter of the room and are used to help tension the carpet and hold it in place – this stops the carpet and underlay from moving and rippling. Now, on to actually removing the gripper… Starting at one end of the room, use a chisel to get underneath the gripper and gently hammer along the length of the gripper to loosen it up. You should then be able to lever the nails/adhesive loose and remove them from the floor to make space for new ones.

These are all council owned houses and we have had the council here but nothing has been done yet. One of the 2 council people that came said that he was a dog person and the other lady said she would send them a letter. If you have several blobs of nail varnish on your carpet, perhaps it would be easier to call a professional out to help you. In addition to cleaning the polish-related blemishes, they’ll also be able to clean the rest of the carpet for you as a bonus.Electric carpet staplers are powerful and need to be handled carefully. You should not rush when you squeeze the trigger to apply your staples. Typically, an electric stapler is designed to create neat connections between seams. what you can do, as a responsible cat owner, is keep your cats safe by cat proofing your garden, making a catio, a large run or, failing that, keeping them as indoor cats, it is up to you to keep your cats safe, not a neighbour Scrape the varnish off the surface, and wipe the excess off your tool with a piece of kitchen roll. They may have a garden full of cat harmful/poisonous plants and actually be doing you a favour, by attempting to keep your cats out and safe, or, would you go around and tell them what to grow in their garden too?

No promises that this will work but it may be worth exploring. You would probably need evidence from other neighbours too. I know it's been used where people have rubbish piling up in the garden and causing issues for others in the community so it may be an option. Our older cat stopped climbing fences about a year ago but if he was chased over that way he could get really hurt not being as agile as he used to be. We recently got his diabetes into remission with insulin and obviously want to protect him and keep him as well as possible. We brought him with us to the UK from NZ when he was about 2.5. Cat's are as much a part of our family as our human children. Less trouble though (just kidding) most council tenants handbooks allow tenants to make reasonable, and legal, adjustments to their house and garden, as long as these are not permenant or damaging to the structure of either. thats why people can put up lights or lay patios, but need permission to remove walls or change kitchens

Standard Gripper

Sometimes rooms are irregularly shaped and/or may have more than four walls. In these situations, instead of taking average measurements from one wall to the opposing wall, each wall is measured separately.
