What thickness chequer plating...

Hi,

I'm looking at putting some chequer plating over the back of my Landie, plan being that if i leave half of it bolted down and put the wheel flat on top, then hinge the other half with gas struts to make easy access to the storage space... (as well as the drop down tail gate)

So, my question being, what thickness chequer would you recommend? I was thinking 3mm should be enough - i'll obviously put some cross supports in, but it needs to be strong enough to walk on, have crap thrown on it & of course the spare wheel...

Cheers

Mike

would have thought that by the time you put a spare wheel on the top, there wouldnt be much left to make a flap out of

got some 6 and 8 mm ere, yer can walk on that ok

ahh... but could you still walk on it if it was a lot thinner?! (and... if not... are you selling any of it )

if yer stick it to a sheet of half inch ply yer will get away with 3 mm
