Currently I have been looking at the rigid polycarbonate canopies, with the curved shape.



You can use colorbond for roofing walls fencing, water tanks, soffiting, make a bed out of it, the sheets will span 1500mm, non trafficable, make what you like out of it, you design the frame and put the sheets on top, colour one side light grey the other. you can have it pressed into a curve, as they only have the High 10 profile, corrogated is best for rolling no creases are seen, perfect curve, but have not seen it yet in Thailand , looking at using colorbond for a watertank, I'll be asking if any company inThailand has a curved roller from Blusscope steel

Take a look at the fence around the construction site at the Udon Center (near the train station). It's the first rolled steel fence I've seen in town....can't compare to that posted above, but obtaining necessary framing shouldn't be a problem in Udon.

Kally,

I went to the place close to the railroad today. Was interesting, I never had the idea that they profile the alu at the spot on order. There were tyle like alu profiles as well. It looked like they made overtime.

I was surprised at the weight of the alu, it was so small, I feel sort of sorry that I never contemplated this material before...

They would ask a contracter with experience with this material to phone me, I wonder if that happens. I contacted a guy from the "list of contractors" via email, hope he will write me back.

By the way, the noodle soup next door is good as well.
