I'm looking into a Chinese supplier of hesco-type bastions. The county needs them for flood control and we'd like to have several pallets worth for projects around the property. Pooling our purchases yields a price break that seems almost too good to be true...but then they sell those Baofeng Ham HTs for $33. They're quoting $37 for each 1.4mx1mx10m unit, minimum lots of 50 units, on the dock at Long Beach. So each unit is 10 linked 54"h x 42"w cells for a total length of 33 feet. They include hog rings and horizontal and vertical linking hardware. If someone who knows this stuff could look over the specs below and let me know if some glaring deficiency pops out at you, I'd really appreciate it.
PS--Is 1.4mx1mx10 cells a bad size? Assume I'm putting up a rifle range backstop and will stack them 2 high.
