The mild steel feels not sturdy, since already quite old, think change to something more durable and secure

Many grill nowadays simply can be bent, serve no purpose of safety

Those 20-30 yrs ago steel, probably many times thicker and stronger,

Yea, i got it from them, same supplier

around that price geh...ss 304 grade

Stainless Steel is expensive la.

my gate 20ft estimated like 10-15k when i wanted to change..... terus change my mind to "not to change"

Please also check the thickness of the Stainless Steel some tent to tipu thickness (quote prices base on different thickness)

i went for powder coat-ed

because no point to spend 2x on condo door

Tell u what.
Hollow is cheap la
But what cost u is the shearing,weld and also installation
Means gold hand mahal

Why say so?

I see quite many of theirs neighbour also use SS, probably 30-40% there

But some maybe cheaper grade, 2k+, after few yrs seems very dull colour, lower grade i guess

You are right, 1 of my colleague niw in this field, the raw material for whole condo probably only 1k+,but when reach end consumer its 15k

Ss not that expensive, its the workmanship and labour and profit

Not really. Stainless steel no issue if kena water.

Only prob is when cincai use soap to clean and did not rinse/wipe off propeli.

Materials price expensive

After reading others comment. Yes, repaint sendiri, is a good option.

Long live the DIY.

Get good paint and brush. Do it. During the painting also buy some beers, or if you drink of choice is tofufah... Chit chat with your children and in laws.


Btw...SS is not forever, some maintenance is still needed. Including polish using autosol...to remove some stain that eventually happens.

It's seem an indoor grill. No need stainless steel. Just make sure it's properly painted. Then will last very long time.

Metal works still ok la.
Wood more worst, diamond hand

99" X 38" + 15"

Sendiri DIY

304

U mean like those wardrobes and kitchen cabinets right?
