Sounds reasonable, I paid 40, but that was 4 years ago!

Sounds pricey unless it includes VAT and delivery.

Just make sure you get the correct grade, and alloy (half hard from menory) else you'll have trouble bending it..

its a grade called 1050 used in general fab work .. there is a 5005 grade for anodising and out door stuff but they use the 1050 for all their fab work and it bends and folds easy without cracking etc....

hope that helps anyone .. cheers

http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=2798 for more details about 1050 grade than you will ever need to know.

It is half hard though if it's H14 which is the most common type, which is the important bit for making panels
