Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Okay, I have another question for you all. I'm just full of questions.

Can anyone tell me where I can get some aluminum to cover my teardrop in or around Cincinnati, Ohio. I like the way the aluminum looks. I guess, if I have to I can just paint it. If not, does anyone have any opinions about painting it?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also looking for aluminum to built a tiny trailer here in Cincinnati. I don't know where to find large sheets, but Lowes and Home Depot both carry rolls of aluminum. They've got 20"x50' rolls for about $36.

I have purchased aluminum from Tri-State. There is one in Dayton.

Endo, thanks for the link. if you don't mind my asking, what kind of price did you get?

I wish I could remember. I can't find my receipt. I do remember that the more you purchase at one time the better the price. So if you also need aluminum angle or flat stock they sell that as well as aluminum sheets.

Thank you so much. I will certainly check them out. I'm torn between painting the wood and covering it with aluminum. I really like both as I have a color scheme laid out for painting that I think would look nice. I'll have to see where my funds lead me.

Once again, thank you for the info.

I bought a sheet from a roofing supply place - They stocked 2 different thicknesses and the sheets were 4 foot by 10. I bought the thicker of the two for about $40

I at least have a starting point. When I first started to think about this I had no clue as to where to start. Thank for your help.

you might look for a place that repairs semi trailers. they may have a roll of 108" wide material that they can cut to length for you.

Good idea!!!

I found 4x10 sheets at a place that sells race car stuff they use it for body repair and it came in colors to
hope to see at the tri state gathering in july
Dan + =good times

I'm really going to try and make it. I've got my lights and plugs put in, now I need to start on the breaker box and fuse panel. This shouldn't take too long. I need to have one really sunny day so I can pull the tarp off and get exact measurements for the EPDM and the siding. It's coming together, I just need to get the all elusive money together to get what I need. Oh well, slowly it comes together.

I can't thank everyone enough for all the help you've given me. I can actually shop for the best prices. I also found some vinyl type sheeting. I might check into that too. It's funny, I never realized how many options there actually are.
