Hi, i'm building a riveted aluminum trailer, i've already got the chassis and alot of aluminum 2045 sheets for the walls, and i'm planning the subfloor and frame currently, i'm planning on doing something similar to the first picture (from ) and i'm going to be building a sort of cube shape first out of the alum. angle, then adding in the beams for reinforcement and door/window perimeters out of a smaller square tubing, reinforced with tig welds and the brackets on the corners. I've found some 20' lengths of aluminum angle on facebook and i just wanted to ask if it would be strong/thick enough for this plan
here are the measurements of my planned trailer (78"x156"x78", roughly planned 1500-2500 dry weight)
here are the measurements of the angle
(6061, 2"x2"x1/4")
this is my first diy trailer, and i just wanted to know if it was too thick/ not thick enough,
also, if anyone has a good place to buy marine ply for a subfloor near colorado, it would be very much appreciated.
