Wanted: Looking for Marsden Matting

[Jeff Gordon]

hi Bill,
Just out of curiosity what are you using them for.
I have a few sheets here for over 10 years because I thought that they would be handy for something.
So far I have used them for tripping over, hooking what ever I am carrying when I walk past them.

One friend made a bike ramp out of it for his trailer, but it is heavier than the bike.

Cheers
Jeff

Also seen a few sheets turn up at Corowa over the years, they seem to fetch top dollar no matter how twisted and rusty they are, gone well before the official swap on Saturday.
Surprised Colin Jones has not started punching repro's out of his workshop.

Hi Bill,
also available from UK, drop these guys an email and they may be able to help, I used to see lengths at their yard a few years ago plus they other interesting bits of kit too !
They post all over the world and will calculate postage costs for you.... just need to ask that they ensure they are spotlessly clean so customs here dont lighten your wallet to the tune of 500 bucks for pressure washing !

Full lengths are available in Orange for $35 a length, got 10 at the moment if some one is going thru, I prefer 1/2 sheets as they are easier to handle.

Heres a link in Germany for new stuff.

I personally, assisted by Irene, delivered 5 lengths to Bob and the Hammond Barn in the deepest darkest jungle hideout on Sunday last.

Perhaps Bob can post some pictures of what he received . . . .

Hello Jeff,
like you I am thinking they would be handy, how handy I'm not sure.
cheers
Bill.

Thanks to all members who have offered avenues of acquisition, I am bogged down with moving house at the moment so haven't been able to devote much time to this post. Hmmm, bogged down, marsden matts
cheers
Bill.

Just to revive an old thread (because it's relevant to world pricing/availability), rather than an orphaned post in the "heads up to auctions" section:

Group buy? Anyone want less than 500 mats? Currently hovering around the $2-$2.50ea range for straight rust-free lengths (I mean rusted through, not simple surface rust)

[Tony Smith]

And didn't we have a discussion on the subject of the name being Marsden/Marston, and PSP meaning Pierced/Perforated Steel Plate? Can't find that thread.

Tony,

I think you were looking for this one: Sand channel, PSP, Marsden matting. I found a couple which I merged, just as I did with related threads in this section.

HTH,
Hanno

Or buy all 2700 lengths and get some friends over for the weekend:

OK, so the per item cost is going up a little, but there is now a group buy thread happening on REMLR to split the purchase between Syd and Melbourne. Current price (and it is an auction, so will likely go up) is between $4 to $5 a length. Put your name down for between 1 to 564 lengths (or more lots!).
