Dipping BeamsThis isn't the best way to paint the steel tubing, it uses too much paint (as it turns out) and unless the metal is extremely clean (as in wiped clean with thinner) the coverage is spotty. dozerSep 26, 2011

Water TankWould never buy this type of water tank again because the drain pipe is above ground leaving any residue trapped in the bottom of the tank (as opposed to stainless tanks which sit on a stand and drain directly through the lowest point at the bottom of the tank). dozerSep 26, 2011
