All brought from Wickes. Is it acceptable to have any kid of wobble from a 3.3m run with only a post at the beginning and a post at the end?

Thanks. And the building inspector did not utter a word when he saw them :x

Hi, Do RSJ's need to be painted with any sort of paint before being installed? Its just that we have had one installed over a new 3m French doors and they have not finished fitting plaster boards to the ceiling yet and they look like they have started to rust slightly. Thanks :shock:

I think a minimum of 100mm.
