manhole covers - galv / stainless steel cost
Was surprised by the price difference between these 2 models from
manholecovers.co.uk :- MHC7122/DSL/AK - 10T 300x300mm Galv Steel Recess Tray D/Seal 4 allen head Screws - £88.71 + vat carriage paid MHC7122/DSL/AK/SSE - Stain/Steel Edge 10T 300x300mm Galv Rec D/Seal 4 allen head Screw - £198.34 + vat carrriage paid Units identical except the second one has a stainless steel edge (the visible part I guess). Well, I guess galv will do. Thing will be hidden most of the time. Any ideas to smarten up a galv edge ? Simon. |

For outdoors, the last one I bought was under £20, and that was a heavy duty cast iron one (probably more now with the cost of iron). -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Also I need a double seal, which adds a bit. Standard outdoor ones tend to be quite large 450 x 600 smallest I've seen in the BM. Simon. |

I get a price increase every few months from a supplier who makes things for me in stainless steel, because of the constantly rising cost of the raw material. It is exorbitantly expensive these days.
