[QUOTE="tvanwho, post: 176432, member: 5785"] If you go to that McNichols link and Zoom in on the picture, you will see the metal is raised expanded aluminum and NOT the metal catwalk grate with vertical sides that Wally specified, unfortunately. I ordered a piece of 5/16 inch thick , raised expanded in aluminum, from McMaster Carr in Chicago, Illinois, USA, but it is not what Wally says to use either. I might give it a try and see how it does however. I bought a dozen strips of 3/8 inch x 3/32 inch thick flat aluminum pieces to try to fabricate what Wally wants us to use. Dunno how I will form the diamonds yet, maybe make a jig of sorts with nails and plywood to bend the aluminum strips around, then pop rivet/bolt the flats together. I think Wally needs to give lessons on how to scrounge around for materials for free or next to free. I was unable to find any of his cable tray for cheap either. All the stuff in the data center where I work is solid aluminum channel that has wires and cables in it. I ended up using 30 x 10 inches of 0.06 inch thick perforated steel with 1/2 inch square holes instead, from McMaster Carr in Chicago, cost $80 US plus shipping. -Tom V. [/QUOTE]
