Corrugated iron
Is corrugated iron or custom-orb available anywhere here and if so, where?
Re: Corrugated iron
Of course corrugated iron is available here...have you not noticed all the houses in the poorer parts of the cities and in the provinces with walls and/or roofs constructed out of it.
I can't give you a precise location, often see it available at homeware/construction material stores, show a picture to a tuk-tuk/motodop and they will know.

Re: Corrugated iron
This seems to be the problem.....no one can give me a precise location and all me searches here in Scenic ville have been fruitless. It would seem an easy question but I'm coming up with nothing. Hence the post....

Re: Corrugated iron
I have seen a place with lots of old roofing iron for sale, but my memory fails to recall exactly where it was.

Re: Corrugated iron
Have you tried showing an example or picture to any locals? Usually this is the best method to find anything that you are having trouble locating yourself in Cambodia.

Yes mate and at the steel suppliers too. The closest I've been able to come is Bluescope through Thailand but I'm hoping to avoid that.

Re: Corrugated iron
The stuff is available everywhere, though I think it's actually zinc. Comes in different thicknesses and can also have some insulation attached to it. Any roofing shop will have some. You can check out ISI near Monireth, though they're a pricier than others.

Re: Corrugated iron
I would have thought any Cambodian builder would be able to tell you where to buy it
Re: Corrugated iron
Maybe you need to try asking some builders, or go to someones house who has used it and ask them...trust me, and others, corrugated iron is readily available in Cambodia.Barang chgout wrote:Yes mate and at the steel suppliers too.

Re: Corrugated iron
ISI don't do corrugated, or so they tell me here. I'm happy to go to PP to source it if I have to but I'd just like to be sure I can get it if I come.
