Thank you for the demonstration of a proper panel reinforcement solution. Well done Sophie, Cheers from across the pond.

Thank you. Nice solution. Just my opinion, but I think strengthening bars across focal points of a panel, like the center rondel, can distract from the beauty of the panel. Would it be ok to place two bars on the panel? One at each of the horizontal lead lines about 1/4 of the way from the top and bottom of the panel, and still get about the same strength? I realize that is twice the work and materials, and the customer may not want to pay for that.

Great tip, thanks once again Sophie 😘

Very cool. Is there a reason not to twist the wires more tighter?

This is a very strong strengthening but very ugly. Would restrip be a better option and not ugly.
