As mentioned the £2 is a moot point. You have claimed that using galv ties is not appropriate. It is. Your sentiment is unfounded hence bad advice.

It's not that simple
Galvanised ties in the Atlantic Ocean (yes) or on the moon (no)
What period of time are we talking about? The life of a porch or the life of the Universe?
It is. It is also possible that stainless steel ties could fail. But that doesn’t matter, your advice is still incorrect and thus; bad.
WTF are you talking about? Are you drunk man?
Cavity trays are required over openings to stop water draining from the cavity, and that has nothing to do with protecting galvanised lintels
The cavity tray above a galvanised lintel is primarily to protect the galvanizing from attack by the mortar as it gradually turns acidic.
Have a read here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(cavity_wall)Hi All
Im currently building a porch, well im now ready to starting bringing the walls up once i have ordered everything this aft. Anyway, I was about to purchase the wall ties and stumbled across 2 types. So my question is which ones should i get. Stainless steel or galvanised wall ties? theres only about £2 difference so i was going to go safe with the Stainless but your thoughts are welcome.
Many thanks
