I read father down on the post and seen where you had answered the attachment question I had. But if you could point me in the direction to find thin aluiminum. I thought about the covering for semi trailers but not sure if its heavy enough like form dings from road debris. Thanks for such a helpful demo video.

@LowliestMan I got my aluminum from a local sheet metal shop. You could also try a metal/welding shop. They should be able to help you.

Extra clean work. Welds look super slick. Question what is the siding and how do you attach it? I plan to start one probably in the morning by flooring the trailer. I love the stainless or aluminum look but not sure where to look for it. Once again I really dig the exact clean work you've done

@palmbaylou The only protection that was put on was several coats of varnish. There are about 8 coats of varnish on it.

I have to ask, what did you do about weather proofing the bottom? Seems the wood deck would have been exposed to water splash from the road. Otherwise, love it, great job!
