    Default aluminium composite panels

    long story short (ish) was planning on buying a craap horse float converting into a mobile shop for craft markets etc, some of my wine barrel furniture and the wifes laser cut pieces esp tourist related stuff but floats as I want them are few and far between, so have been looking at a caravan chassis or a horse float chassis. very promising, this way we can build exactly what we want.

    I would like to explore aluminium composite panels have found places that make them for trailers and caravans.

    BUT nothing in South Australia apart from big green shed, can anyone help me out please.
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

    Any refrigerated/cool room supplier will help you out.
    In a past life I worked for a transportable building company and we regularly made them for site offices and mobile display outfits on trailers. Even did a couple for channel 9 for outside sport broadcasts

    If you are looking for the Alucabond type material have a chat to some of the sign making or acrylic supply companies as well

    60 or 70mm thick is the ideal thickness and strength plus they sell the aluminium extrusions to fabricate, there are a few tricks I can give you if you decide to go that way.
    If you look on any of the buy/sell sites you can get ex refrigerated bodies only at a reasonable cost or even a whole truck that does not comply with the strict hygiene regs, just suggestions
