Hi Snowolf ,
Trim is available in the UK . You could try these guys;

http://www.aalco.co.uk/

Check out the transport section. They also do 2.4 m wide aluminium sheet at about £33 per liniar metre.

I recycled an old two birth caravan, and salvaged the awning rail from that.



Happy building

Dave
