The client didnt want it on the other side i did try and say to them.It doesnt look as good from the road apparently!!! This is a chalet in the alps after all oh and heath and saftey well isn't really there.
As for the bolt it snapped and was removed and another one put in place.
Cheers for comments.
Have another one to build now
Before i welded the triangles in place i welded 40mmx6mm flats to the tread plates.I started in the middle and worked towards the edge.Both the ends of the flats were clamped againest the large tread plates to hold it squar.I also did it little by little to stop to much heat twisting the metal.
