In the case of the linked article the shop panel bonded the structural roof instead of welding it, but nothing in the article appears to detail whether the parts were oem replacements (often from recyclers, not overstock) or from aftermarket duplications. Recycling structural components was totally a thing, I can’t say for sure that it still is, but the availability of various structural cuts from my local recyclers leads me to believe it’s still a common and acceptable practice.
home depot sells home renovation supplies to anyone with a credit card--even if it's not theirs. to draw a parallel, would this mean that any home renovation done via components procured through home depot inherently meet all applicable building codes?
