If you want "tough" aluminum might be a better selection that plastic.

Add some kind of aluminum, track, tie-down system which would help stiffen everything up: Mac's VersaTie track, aluminum track, and e-track

might wind up with that. we'll see. thanks for the info.

There is a Grainger in Panama City or at least it used to be there a few years ago when I lived in PTY.

wow there is one! i will be calling them tomorrow. thanks a bunch for the heads up, never would've thought they'd have a branch down here. awesome.

Lots of big construction supply and hardware stores down there. I lived in Panama in 09/10 and have been back a number of times, 2018 being last time. You might check around for the HDPE, who knows.

Or sheets of aluminum?

Cheers

yeah, its a booming country and lots of construction suppliers are going. but you know how locating exactly what you need can be a long chase. gonna see if that grainger outlet in pty has the hdpe...

shoot. like many businesses down here, they came, they saw, they thought about it some more and left.

It is a little off topic, but I really like the flooring you have in there. Can you comment on how practical it has proven? And what kind of underlayment did you use to support it? Just more plywood?

I like that modular flooring so much I wonder if you could not use it on the sides; perhaps with aluminum channels top and bottom.

thought you might dig this... my nutty woodworking brother also made a removable hardwood bench seat.

Hi PJF, your brother is not nutty. That looks very solid, not to mention attractive. I wish he could work on my troopy! Well done!
