Salvage 1

Salvaged material from a barn demolition, the long rods are 3/4 inch (19mm) wrought iron silo hoops (reinforcing hoops that go around vertical storage silos - common here on North American farms.) These were from the original wood bodied silo which was replaced by a concrete panel type sometime after WWII. The hoops were thrown into a scrap pile, then re-used as re-bar in concrete work improvements made during the 1960's. Each of the hoops are about 20 feet long (6 meters), they were folded up for ease of transport. Also in the pile are smaller pieces also used to reinforce the concrete, includes wrought iron, mild, and high carbon pieces from old wagons and farm machinery. Whatever was available to use was, I even found a shock absorber!
