Hi all

I am going to need some ally chequer plate for my trailer door/ramp.

It will be riveted onto a steel frame so probaby noly needs to be 2mm thick.

Are there any cheap suppliers out there?
I'm in the Herts area

All hints gratefully received.

Thanks
Gavin

Lol, on my iPad your name looks like gay max until I had a double take and zoomed in!!

I found out that there is such a thing as barley plate, which is like chequer plate but with two bars as opposed to four or five. May be cheaper for you?

I got some plain 2mm ali sheet from a guy on ebay, but he mainly does chequer plate, really helpful and a good price.
The guy's called Fred at Fezio-tradings... well recommended (I have no connection to him other than receiving good service).
Just do an ebay search for 2mm chequer plate and you'll find him.

Aluminum Warehouse - I found to be reasonable.
