Yes, and they are 12v. They can be cut every 5CM and have little solder pads for you to wire them up to. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Recently invested in some of those myself for lighting in my workshop. Only fitted 1/3rd of them at the weekend but already it's nice and bright for working in. Great things _________________ Jamie

OK so I think we need a build day. This would consist of setting up the arena panels and one buy one doing the mods we need to them.
I think we should remove the polycarb from the panel. Repaint the panel, sand down the edges then rebolt the panel to the polycarb.
We also need to cut about 50-70mm off the roof struts and fix up the bolts. We also need to bolt a piece of pine to the bottom of each one, so we need to drill two holes in them. After this they need to be painted. We also need to work out how to tie down the shade cloth in a good manner. We have ocky straps and I have a plan but I think we need to sew a 100mm+ hem around the edge and also attach some straps to tie it down.
From TODO list:
Paint Panels
Paint Roof Beams
Secure Shade Cloth
Sand Polycarb
Repair Polycarb
Cut down beams
Bolt timbers to beams
Test Polycarb under shade cloth
Things we need to acquire:
Washers
Straps for shade cloth
Paint
Few bolts.
Who is available to assist with this? Me and Aaron have been doing a fair bit of work on the arena but this session could probably use a group effort.

We will come along! We will bring drills and stuff.... So to attach the pine ,we could screw from outside into the arena....and just you regular 45mm wood screws. Also to smooth the edge off on the poly carb we could use a metal swarf de-burer...we got one of them. _________________ Miles Blow - Julie Pitts

are you sure you're making an ant arena and not an Iron Man suit?
