  • You are asking for aesthetic advice (e.g. what colour drapes would look nice with your couch).
  • You are asking if anyone else has ever built something or used a method.
  • You are asking if a project is "easy".
  • If you have a project in mind, please do some basic research on the matter, come up with your plan, then you can ask a question about a specific aspect of that project.
  • If you have any of the questions above - please try using our Getting Started thread at the top of the subreddit.
  • Ask your question in our Discord server in the appropriate channel.
  • You may also try other subreddits - /r/homeimprovement, /r/woodworking, /r/whatisthisthing, /r/electronics or /r/findareddit to help you find a subreddit applicable to your question.

Reply to Best Paint for an outdoor wood shed? by DogecoinDogeDoge

Your submission has been removed for one or more of the following reason(s):

  • You're asking what product or tool to buy.
  • You're asking about the features, properties or capabilities of a product or material made by someone else.
  • You're asking where to buy a product or tool.
  • You're asking for suggestions for a product or tool you intend to buy.

We do not permit posts asking for suggestions on materials and tools. This is because of spam.

  • /r/DIY is focused on the how, what technique to employ and which tool to use.
  • If you need recommendations for a product, you'll probably have better luck in a more specialised subreddit, e.g. /r/HomeImprovement, /r/woodworking, r/helpmefind, etc.

Reply to My dog did dig a hole. how do I get my grass back? by Luqas_Incredible

  • Your question does not include the research you've done to find an answer yourself, or why that research didn't answer your question.

This is a basic requirement so others do not spend time repeating your steps. It is not a judgement about your question being "too easy." We're looking for evidence that you've made an attempt yourself.

  • Please do not use /r/DIY as your first stop for questions - we are not Google.

  • Please search Google and /r/DIY to see if your question has been asked before. Check owners manuals, tech support forums or contact the manufacturer.

  • Have you already done some basic research and are still stuck?

  • Please include what research you have done in your question so that others do not repeat your steps.

  • Consider posting your question in the sticky thread at the top of the subreddit.

  • Ask your question in our Discord server in the appropriate channel.

Please read our guidelines before resubmitting.
