Concrete mixers are 3m2 ,6m2 and 8m2 You pay a part load charge for anything that isn’t a full load . Reinforce it mate either 10 mm or 12 will do ,40 odd quid for 2.4 m x 4.8 m There ,been longing to put some of you messers in your place for ages ,have that . Don't mean to piss in your cream soda, but this isn't going to hold up without two litre plus of washing up liquid poured in for good measure 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
