plasticpig Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Can you tell me why you are prepared to pay a premium for Stainlees or mild steel from out side of Thailand? I’m sure Thailand has plants providing high quality SS and MS. (anyone know) Sounds a bit of a sales ploy. Only asking, it’s not a criticism. sorry can't help you with the cost per, m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( imported from Italy) We have a 10 x 2 metre gate requirement so Baht 70000+ seems very high to me. I will see if anyone on the forum has purchased any and investigate 'Thai prices.

onzestan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 We have a 10 x 2 metre gate requirement so Baht 70000+ seems very high to me. Way to expensive. Shop around should be a lot cheaper.

loong Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I can't tell you about local prices, but a while back I had a 4metre x 2 sliding gate fitted, cost 11,000 Bt including concrete base and pillars. That was in Phrae and not imported metal. They use solid metal though. I took the lowest quote after inspecting some of the man's previous work. The highest quote I had was 30,000 Bt. was pleased with the gate but not impressed with the concrete work. I would definitely shop around as it seems to me that you have been quoted a ridiculously high price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
