Yea, I knew the plastic stuff existed too but they didn't have it at my local Home Depot. So I just bought what was there. The galvanized bends pretty easy on it's own. You just need to use some tin...

Yea, I was thinking the same thing about the 1/4" ply. It's what we pulled off, and I just sorta followed that lead. I think I may add another layer of 1/4". The stuff is pretty light, and then I can...
