    They were a bit floppy actually so ive braced it together with some 20mm steel tube from top and a thin 5mm ali composite signage sheet on top for lid which cost 6£ from recycling place as they are expensive otherwise but yea so far been great. Corner joints are not great but does the job. If you do it measure carefully if you want perfect joints.best of luck

    LOLER

    Traceability is the key for LOLER so if i cant trace and find any info its a fail for me . My advice is try and avoid buying any vital climbing gear second hand as you dont know if they been hammered so any new equipment keep all paperwork for LOLER.Be safe
  23. No worries.i have bid for stuff tomorrow in the past but havent got anything.you just need to remember %16 interest and %20 vat on top of final price so you dont end up with a surprise.a few people i know gets stuff off there.they sell a lot of gear regular.good luck
