Now I've got a question about aluminum also. What thickness would you use if you were NOT going to put ply underneath, but to make an insulated wall? Just aluminum framing, aluminum skin and whatever wall you decide to put up inside. I've thought about making an all aluminum TTT.

Ok here is an update for Scandinavia on Aluminum purchasing. Especially pertaining to our country. If you remember the original post on this thread where I contacted a company that has the aluminum & stainless. I received some nice samples from them. Well I contacted them again and asked about the bigger size availability. Such as for a 5 foot wide aluminum. ;)

That they would have to order. Here is part of the email I received.
There is a minimum order on this: But its not the worst scenario.

Our supplier can deliver (Special Order) on this width.aluminium 1,0x1500x3000 sheets. Minimum order is 200€. If you order 5 sheets, price is 58,56€ per sheet. If you order 10 sheet, price is 49,08€ per sheet. Prices are without taxes.. (ALV0%) + freight to your place.

At least now I have a source nearby if I want it. Good time of year to look for material and parts for spring. :thumbsup:
