Right. Where do I get galvanised rebar from then? My BM just does the
mild steel stuff. I need about 8mts


You'll be lucky, it's as rare as rocking horse sh!t...why can't you just use
normal mild steel but treat it first with something? - this would
effectively double it's life.


I thought about that, but what? All that tamping down in a mix of sharp
sand and aggregate...
