    X-Sense wireless smoke detectors in the test: In my multi-storey old building with thick walls, it was clear that normal smoke alarms were not enough. I installed the X-Sense Link Plus system with wirelessly networked smoke detectors and CO detectors and put it through its paces. In this article, I show how smoke detectors with wireless technology perform in practice, how the setup works with and without an app and which variant is suitable for which application scenario. You’ll also find information on mandatory smoke alarms in Germany, the technology behind the devices and my detailed practical test with video.

  • Build your own pool terrace with stone slabs on a slope

    4464967 - Build your own pool terrace with stone slabs on a slope

    Building a poolside terrace on a slope is a real challenge – especially when there is hardly any space for a classic substructure. In this article, I show you how I created a stable, long-lasting plateau using formwork stones, gravel, chippings and patio slabs. I document the entire construction process in detail, from excavation to setting the formwork stones and laying the slabs – including all tips on material selection, height adjustment and joint filling. Ideal for anyone who wants to upgrade their pool area in the garden both functionally and visually.
