[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 300230, member: 10344"] [i]Ok so if I understand this correctly your issue/concern is that standard cut plywood or aluminum sheet 4x8 or 48x96 inches will be ok length wise but will fall short by 3 inches because your floor is 51inches wide. What’s the spacing of your ribs? And what’s the length of the floor. If there is a rib that falls close to, or on the 4ft mark then make your cut on the center of it and butt your second peace up to it. I think it’s more wasteful to install a rod locker or storage box the length of the whole floor. I think that would be a heck of a lot more expensive just in material than a second piece of plywood or sheet of aluminum. Just saying. I mean if you can benefit from a rod locker or storage like that then it’s all good, but remember you just lost a whole bunch of floor space. I haven’t seen many rod lockers 3 inches wide.
