5 foot wide aluminum Sheets??
Wonder if anyone has experience with this, I'm building a teardrop camper for hunting/trips/whatever and i've done most my research based on people's experience in the states, the plan is to sheet it with 5 foot wide aluminum...i know you can get it in the states, I'm looking for a source in Southern alberta....even Calgary/Edmonton
i'm located in lethbridge and I've tried the common metal distributors, versteel/valuesteel/national salvage, I'm about to start asking sign making companies and semi trailer repair shops
i would prefer 18-20guage/.040-.032in of 5 foot wide...not picky on coating, by the roll would be good so that the roof is seamless...ill post some pictures to show what I'm talking about
mine is the first pic unfinished, second pic is one that someone else built similar to what i want

i guess i would prefer mill finish over anodized coating just because it is cheaper

Call a truckbody shop. Someone like General truck body, Millron. They build stuff all day long with alum panels.

Try Brooks Industrial Metals.............In Brooks. They can get just about anything (I've bought aluminum there). Also, they cater to small orders where from what I have found, most of the suppliers in the city will only do large orders.
