My fellow Members, ask not what your Society can do for you, ask what you can do for your Society.

Very interesting site. Worth remembering if they make all this stuff in G3.

I got them to blow up their 7mm GER station awning valance to G3. worked out very nicely.

Geoff,

Would I be right in thinking they are made from MDF?
Am wondering about some of their fencing as well as awning valance.

The valences would certainly save a lot of time and effort.

John, the site says, I think, that all are made from birch ply?
Not sure how this works when the edges are visible though...

the valance they did for me was 1.5mm (or 1.6mm) ply, with the grain going in  the correct direction.  I'm pretty sure I chose the thickness from what they offered, I don't remember saying anything about the grain. the 'scribed' planking lines are nicely done, sufficient to be visible after painting, but not too obvious.
