replace coroplast with steel/aluminum
Hi,
I posted this in another forum, but was wondering if anybody here has done this?
Has anybody replaced the coroplast lining the subfloor on the bottom of their trailer with steel or aluminum?
I want to do this for rodent control.
I was thinking of using 4x8 sheets cut to size. I would put cross braces on seams and possibly every 2 feet if there is significant sag. Depending on the bracing, the sheets might be overlapped at seams. I would also add metal to the frame around things like spring mounts so there is no location where the sheets don't directly overlay the frame.
I would cut larger holes for the waste and drains so the sheets are more easily removable. Then I would cut metal to fill those areas with tight tolerances to the drains and screw those pieces into the sheets that span the frame. This should completely seal the subfloor area.
thx
