TEO,& where to get it...
I'm looking for the stuff used in sofa beds & the like, 1 - 1.5mm thick 25 - 30 x 35 - 40 box. Often has big slots/cutouts I'm assuming for weight saving.
I'm doing platform beds for campervan conversions, and while I can find heavier in the right dimensions.... It's heavier & I'm trying to save weight.
In the past this had been a pretty ad hoc addition to normal business of cabinet/furniture making but now I have more to do & need to find a reliable source.
Any ideas gratefully received but FYI Parkers don't carry it, nor do my local steel stockists, & I've not found it with the Web based sellers.
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I just can't find it.
Where do you live ?
I have several sections of such steel from a modern IKEA type bed frame complete with corner joiners . I'm in South Wales if you collect is FOC .
Maybe ask in Freecycle local to you or a local Facebook group . Wil put up photos in a bit . Think there is also a sack of the plywood spring strips as well .
