The racking was about $450 per bay from Mclernons, thats with 3 tier 2 tonne rated, and also cross bracing pieces

If you're sourcing it that racking is usually called Dexion racking I believe.

[keenas]

You can source good racking and cheap at global machinery or stainless steel australia. 1st mentioned is the cheapest for buying of the street, SSA is good to have it installed

Lookin good Matt.

The sunken section is for the sump yeah? Worthwhile insulating the bottom and sides u reckon?


Daz

[mattt]

i'll do the sides.

[SynoAngel]

What will the sump be made of? Glass, Plastic or something else?
