How to save money when buying a third of the price of steel bars?

For embedded in the door frame installation site fence and sliding gates (fixing to the pillar and reinforcement plates) must be purchased steel reinforcement. The foundation used the mortgages from the old remnants fittings - for sauna foundation piles.

. Price on Metal fittings - more than 40 rubles / kg:

Another valve 6m need sawn apart. It is 30-40 rubles. one cut. Output prompted a brother who for pouring piles under house acquired b \ y rebar at the point of scrap metal.

Although I am not a supporter of any b \ y, but decided in this case to save money at the same time to see what is the point of reception of colored and black metal.

On the outskirts of the city, almost on the road I found a branch of one of the largest organizations dedicated to taking ferrous and non-ferrous metals:

The trailer and the mountains in the open air metal. Rust-free reinforcement will not find. But the fence, for mortgages, will come up. I choose a ready crop of 10-12 mm diameter. Diameter not take more - they are heavier and the diameter of 14-16 mm excess. It turned exactly 30 kg.

Price: 25 € / kg.. Total: 750 rub. They take the black metal to 8 RUB. / Kg. The margin of more than 300% of the blue!

Already transported trim valves on site. Choosing a length of 1.5 m for convenient transportation. From what will be later, Brew metal frame to the plate under the sliding door. It will need another channel, which is also available in reception centers metals.

One of the options for installation of reinforcement plates sliding gates

While choosing the reinforcing rods from the pile of metal, he realized that it contains and long measures that can be pulled out, to saw grinder for easy transport. For a small fee via its extension cable allows you to connect to electricity.

Per day for two or even one fully able to dial reinforcement for foundation tape, Laying nets or piles. Dial at a time fitting on the stove - it is necessary to try. But because it constantly is brought hunters with metal, it can be done 2-3 times.

Only rods b \ y rebar in the foundation will have to be installed in a few laps together. Small six-meter lengths. Yes, and delivery on a small truck with a short body will be cheaper.

Savings of 15-20 rubles. kg with reinforcement - is a significant amount of weight when purchased fittings even hundreds of kilograms, not to mention the 1-2 tons. But you need to make your own hands and not be afraid that you will be looked upon as a rogue, but you take the metal for construction. And if you build, then there must be money. It's in some people causes dissonance and breaking stereotypes.
