He purchased zinc coated double loop ties
I purchased zinc coated double loop ties for my business. I was laying concrete in basements, and I wanted to make sure it was more than a slab of concrete. I wanted it to have some give and hold up to whatever the families in those homes did. As long as the double loop ties […]
Why am I buying galvanized tie wire coils when I know PVC is cheaper?
