Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
Now in operational service, still got to add my anti pigeon brush surround and paint the exposed rails. :mrgreen: Also my metalwork was sent to the wrong address so I had to bodge the joining of the extension rails for now, thats another job to do but it should not be too bad. This was a hard job th...

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
I've put a single token new panel on for verifying the proof of concept of how we get them up there, reverse way to how I got the old ones down. Haul onto a wheele bin, then step them up on an edge rung by rung on a ladder until they can be cantilevered over the edge of the rear of the car port. The...
