If i was to do the welding myself, could i use an arc welder as weve got one ? We normally use it for welding lcs pipes together.?

It doesn't really matter what method of welding you use as long as you get good penetration.

Ahhh.... the meaning of life :wink:

just don't blow a hole in the metal by turning up the power too high.

I'd say ARC isn't ideal imo, I'd go MIG, but that's just me. I use my ARC for building gates and the like.
