We thought it worthwhile to have our gates galvanised prior to painting them. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.org |

If you're not I suggest you think twice about making them yourself. Mary it's some time since I worked with steel, but I used to repair my own vehicles including welding. I have recently made and welded extended brackets for my fencing but this was from stock I had from years ago. As I will be requiring quite a bit of material I wondered if there was a stockist which people use who deliver. I live in the N.E. of england. I would also like "fleur de lise" or similar forged bits to incorperate to keep the wife happy, she sees these things but wants something different from anything she has seen. dave |

Most will deal with the public on a cash or credit card basis. Bob |
