I.e <---------> (that way) edit: quite often have thin beams like that (but round steel ones) in factories/warehouses/sheds etc Edited 01/02/17 04:37 AM by Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 16,161 Member For: 10y 30d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 01/02/17 04:52 AM Share Posted 01/02/17 04:52 AM Ha that's just like my guts when I give it a smack like that! I did a bunch of weed spraying for 3 corner jacks today. The back has about 1400m2 and the front has about 150m2 that has various amounts of infestation. The rest of the property is house, shed, driveway and unaffected areas. Apparently they can lie dormant for 8 years give or take so hopefully I'll have them all gone in 5 years.

Personally, still don't think they'd do fark all...but whatever, if it gets approved I may just look at adjusting it or something later. Looks significantly average compared to previous. So I'd probably look at getting an engineering alternative at some point. But whatever, as long as I'm not potentially liable for the council telling me to rip it down that'll do for now.

You would expect a fair bit of flex in a length like that. But that won't affect its intended purpose. Maybe I should reword that second sentence...
