Short, because a small site does not need a long document. The part that matters is the technical data: it is written to be useful, and it is indicative rather than a design calculation.
The tables, formulas and figures here — deflection, PREN, gauge conversion, tolerance limits — are correct as far as we know and are given to explain how the material behaves. They are not a design calculation for your structure, and they are not a substitute for an engineer's check on a specific application.
Deflection figures in particular are computed for a simply supported strip under an idealised load. Real benches have brackets, stiffeners and point loads, and the real number will differ. Where a page says “indicative”, it means exactly that.
Your drawings remain yours. We use them to quote and to manufacture, we keep them so a repeat order is possible, and we do not publish them or reuse your design for anyone else. Ask and we will delete them when the order is closed.
We will not fabricate a part from a drawing that we have reason to believe infringes someone else's design right. If a drawing looks familiar, we will say so before quoting.

The technical pages are checked against the standards and against shop practice, and where a number is a range rather than a fixed value we say so. Even so, three limits apply and it is fairer to state them than to bury them.
If you find a number here that contradicts a standard you hold, tell us and we will correct the page. Corrections are free and they make the page more useful to the next buyer, which is the whole point of publishing it.
Nothing on this website is an offer to sell. Orders are governed by the quotation you approve and by the order terms, including payment, shipment and the warranty. Where a website statement and a signed quotation disagree, the quotation wins — which is why everything that matters is written into it.
