Anyone know anything about rendering? As an amateur I had never heard of it
til yesterday til a pro mentioned it.

I am going to pave my garden, I have dug up some of the concrete. Now where
my shed it, it seems to have been rendered at the bottom to make it
smoother. My new paving will probably now be lower that it was before. See

If you look hard, you can see a crack - that part totally comes off.

So I will have to re-render it.

Some questions,

How hard is it to do, i it just a case of mixing some stuff together and
plastering it on? I couldn't get any decent results on the BandQ or Wickes
websites - I imagines something that came in a packet like cement...?

Secondly, would it be better to dig a little deeper and render it all before
I pave? So it all blends in properly or should I put in my type 1 concrete
and then just render anything over the paving level?

Thirdly, anything to stop me rendering the concrete under the (blue) door ?
After the door there is more of the black stuff that has been rendered.

Obviously the entire shed will be re-painted once the paving is done.

Cheers
