[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 276775, member: 4468"] yes it is, just lay it on a bench and one of you hold it down on the bench so the edge of the bench is where you want the bend. you could use a smaller thickness than 1/16 also, but even 1/8 or 1/4 bends pretty easy, aluminum is a pretty soft material. and even very thin aluminum will support the box so it does not fall down below the deck unless you have hundreds of pounds of gear to put in it lol! and you wanna counter sink the bolts that will hold the box up so when you carpet the deck you wont have bumps under ther carpet...
