my gaffer pays £1.10 per foot brand new and apparantley that's good,there is a thinner gauged steel from china that's about 0.80 per foot if u get it at the right time and he often hires brand new from various hire companies then buys it rather than return it as then its second hand,good way to get nearly new gear,think he gets charged 80p a foot second hand.if u av a waggon and willing to travel theres allways loads on ebay,fittings can vary from a quid upwards but its so expensive,thats why ur allways getting a boll ocking for leaving a base plate at the job!!!
