Where can I get this kind of decking?

I'm trying to find a place I can buy some of this punched steel decking or the punched aluminum that is bent like used on car haulers. All the suppliers I find online want you to buy a lot of it. Anyone know any places I can get it without buying bulk? I just need it for a trailer I'm working on.

 

Salvage yards might have some.

 

Cottrell sells it in varying lengths. It might be easiest just to buy it slightly longer than you need and trim it down

heh.. they want $900 for 2x 8ft pieces..lol

8 FT JUMP SKID SET (NESTING STYLE) - Cottrell Trailers

They sell a different one for about $200 a section that is 11ft but it'd cost $1,500 to do what I need. That's pretty excessive IMO. If it's gonna cost that much I'll just buy heavy wire trailer mesh and be done with it if I can't find better prices. I'd rather use punched steel though..

 

Yeah, I saw them but they seem to only ship it LTL and says on the website you need a forklift and dock. I guess maybe if all else fails I can get a load up there and pick it up myself if I can find anything with different shipping options.

 

A jump skid isn't decking, it's similar to a loading skid. They also sell the decking

 

Try Tractor Supply. I saw some 3 or 4 ft. ramps there last week, looked like that. Weren’t too expensive

 

Businesses that sell racks and shelving to warehouses will have that kind of material. Also, you could probably find something like that from a trailer shop that sells & services cattle pots.

But like @kwswan said, if you can find a salvage yard that has a wrecked car hauler then that would probably be your least expensive route.
