Karen,
I found aluminum 102" (8.5') wide at a local semi trailer repair company. The aluminum comes on a roll so it can be cut to any length. Their will be a little waste but that's to be expected when building anything other than a 4 X 8 size trailer. One member here ran into a problem with the aluminum being scratched so tell them what you are using it for and ask them to take extra care when unrolling/cutting/re-rolling the material.

Karen, S4's advice is right on, about the only place you will find AL that wide is a facility fot the repair/rehab/manufacturer of 18 wheeler box trailers
