My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need help identifying sheet metal

10 years ago



I have coiled 36" x 36" aluminum sheets with painted undersides as per
photos but don't know what their original use was or what they could be used for now. I acquired them as part of a
relative's estate and they've been hanging around in my
garage collecting dust. It's time for them to go to make room for other
junk. Can someone suggest a practical use for this material? I thought maybe work bench tops or roofing repairs but am only guessing. Apologies if this isn't the right forum for such a question but any insights would be appreciated.
