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.

French term (edited): "fer plat plein"

solid, flat steel

"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.
