yes; beware that welding galvanised steel is very bad for your health - its the zinc.

think you'd pay a lot more for new steel from somewhere like metal supermarkets. sounds like a good deal to me

1 to 1.6mm won't be too heavy, it's what was recommended in the original book.

Beware of the 'boing' effect though

£4.50 per m^2 is cheap.
