  -> Thanks, C

agree  Tony M: Yes, it means it is made from a solid flat bar of (probably) steel — i.e. it is not fabricated up from sheet metal. It might be worth keeping the 'solid' in there, just to emphasize the point.

  -> Thanks. Yes, one could toss in solid. But I think bars cannot be hollow without becoming tubes?

"fer plat plein"
solid, flat steel


Explanation:
"Solid" in the sense of not hollow, as some cheap hoes might be. One wouldn't expect it to be necessary to state that it isn't perforated. NB a "flat iron" is something absolutely different!

5 Mar 2011 - agree, Robin Levey: Yes - plat is short for 'fer plat' which literally means 'iron plate' but which will of course be steel plate here.
