Our hothouse is a controlled environment for the rearing of hatchling crocodiles. There is always a high level of humidity and the temperature constant at approx. 32 degrees Celsius.

­The level of corrosion on the steelwork was considerable, and in earlier years we struggled with various paints. Eventually the corrosion began to do serious damage.

At that point [SelfCoat] entered the picture. The entire roof was removed. All I-beams and purlins were sandblasted, painted with Self-Coat Metal-Treat and one coat of Self-Coat colour paint.

Four years down the line the paintwork is still perfect, the corrosion is completely under control and my problems are solved.
