Used to fit that stuff on commercial vehicle floors, its strong and dont rot but its very heavy, I would go for a sheet of 10swg ally 5 bar treadplate and price would be similar or poss a few quid cheaper and it would look better as well.

I can still get this kind of material at a discounted price but you would have to be able to collect it from Smarden near Ashford in Kent.
