Materials: KINGSBO Display Unit
Got a KINGSBO display unit selling locally on Gumtree for £40 (usual £100). Picked it up from the seller and it’s perfect – powder coated metal frame so should withstand the elements, glass panels are thick and heavy, perfect size and within budget. All that needed to be done was seal the edges between the glass and metal with transparent all-weather grade silicone to make it waterproof and stop drafts.
