About Us

Today most of the products offered by AG Wide Wholesalers PTY LTD are manufactured overseas. While it sounds wrong not to be using Australian steel to manufacture locally the facts today are that Australia has far too many cost inputs into the locally manufactured equation to remain competitive while providing our customers the best price. (In saying this -Custom orders are welcomed using Australian steel)

Product Guarantee

AGWW product range is guaranteed for 12 months from date of purchase against defective workmanship.

Note: It is the buyers responsibility to ensure that the product purchased is suitable for the buyers intended use and corrosive environment.

Warranty

The corrosion life of steel products is influenced by many factors such as proximity to the coast, animal waste, soot from forest burning, tree sap, mineralised water from bores and springs, fertilisers, weed control sprays and moist acidic contaminants in soils, etc.
