BEFORE: We just bought 9,000’ of used Steel Highway Guardrail. We are always excited when contractors sell us used and surplus steel materials instead of selling them to a metal recycler who will just melt them down.
AFTER: “I saw this YouTube video about a guy installing used Guardrail as a water bar and runoff diversion guttering on his property. Pretty smart solution!!” – Jack in Arkansas
