⚠️ Important Note for Mild Steel Braais
Coastal Environment Limitations: Mild steel braais are not recommended for outdoor coastal installations due to accelerated corrosion from salt exposure. For coastal indoor applications, this braai must be maintained regularly, all components exposed to the elements above the brickwork must be constructed from 304 stainless steel or higher grade to ensure longevity. For coastal outdoor applications, consider upgrading to 316 stainless steel.
💡 Best Applications for Mild Steel Braais
- Indoor kitchens and entertainment areas
- Covered outdoor areas in inland locations
- Budget-conscious installations where corrosion risk is minimal
- Temporary or seasonal outdoor setups (inland only)
