waffle boards
Bob696:
I may have some for sale soon (in time for billing I hope) but I need to test them first as they are slightly different. These have steel rods running through them. Will certainly be less than £50.
Boddle:
Recently got some of Ebay £40 + £5 P&P

I was at frickley 4x4 market on Sunday. and a chap was selling a set for £80 :shock: He tried to say that they were specially made for challenge event vehicles. I resisted the urge to tell him he was talking a load of rubbish. They are all made for the petrochemical industry as floor gratings. What you see on the 4x4 scene are the cut offs from the end of a production run or batches with a colour flaw or just a surplus left over from an order. cut to size and sold as waffle boards.

Thats not technicly true
I cant speak for any other companys out there but we have ours made for us, to the specification we asked for, in the width, length and thickness we required after extensive testing.
They come into us from ....... where we have them delivered by the pallet load (approx 200 a time)
Ours are longer and stronger than all the others on the market and are not made or off cuts from any thing else
If you have a look at ours you'll see there is no cut marks around the outside proving they arn't off cuts
Be careful not to tar every company with that big brush
