Large quantity of Alu chequer plate... what to do with it?

[NDT]

Previous owner of our house had a large aluminium channel made out of chequerplate.
Think he used it as some kind of flood barrier for the driveway.
It's about 4.8m * 0.8m *2mm.
Got this kind of channel section _/----\_ if that makes sense.

Any suggestions?

Make a hamster slide down the side of your house.

Use it as a flood barrier for the driveway.

Weigh it in, before somebody else does...

Sell it to the One Life, Live It Land Rover crew.

They'll happily plaster entire Defenders in the stuff ...

S'pose that is the obvious answer.
Not needed in the last 8 years though.
Apparently someone used to block the drain with grass cuttings hence the floods...

Or construct a Defender body completely with it and buy some smooth alloy panels to go on the tops of the wings and bonnet. That'll stir it up in the 4x4 community!

Best answer!
Judging from the price of new chequerplate it's worth f-all as scrap

Worth keeping in case though? Unless you have no space for it at all.

Sell it as plate not scrap. It's worth a fortune to fabricators etc.

Chequer plate channel? Sounds unusual - may have folded it himself? Most aluminium channel is extruded which you can't 'do' chequered IYSWIM.
