You might consider using 2'' aluminum angle and miter the joints where the plane changes. I bedded the angle on my rebuild with a polymer caulk. That was over 4 years ago and it is still holding up well even the caulk that is exposed to the Florida sun. Tom

Here are some pictures of the flooring and sub floor. Tom

I think the inter locking deck material would make an incredible floor! I had right around $550.00 in the 1 x 2 channel, screws and some extra 1 1/2 square tubing added to the existing floor framing. Tom,

Here are a few pictures, hope they help. I purchased the  aluminum from Town And Country Industries. They are suppliers for aluminum patio materials. I purchased the aluminum coil material from them, .024 pre-painted white. I opened a cash account with them so the material was at at true whole...

If that kind of work is fun and interesting for you there is unlimited possibilities.Yes it is a lot of work, but that could vary depending on how big of project you take on. For me it was rewarding. I bought a 16' travel trailer headed for salvage. I wanted the frame, windows, stove, holding...

Is it possible there is some water damage?
