Dare I ask a ballpark ££ for that?
I'm toying with the idea of an upgrade but I reckon that might be a step too far

Bitumen specified by the customer. Not sure why bitumen to be honest, I'm assuming its better in concrete than normal paint.
It covers the welding nicely though!!
Not that they need covering you understand!!
Interesting, everyday is a school day!!steel will not corrode in concrete at all.
Concrete is a strong alkalie, which does not supprot corrosion.
When you look at old buildings where the reinforcement is bubbling the concrete off, it is because teh Co2 in the air has neutralised the concrete, and corosion starts.
Cheers. About 3 weeks from start to finish for two of us on this one. I think i spent a day and a half working out stuff beforehand as mych as i could to make ot easier and make best use of the steel. Its very tempting to plough straight in because the first stages are reatively easy. A bit of planning with the order you make it in and how you cut sheets helps later on and you don't end up with wasted part sheets thst aren't quite big enough for other uses.fine bit of work there mad welder, its a behemoth when its in place.
how long dose it take you to build one?.
