Im thinking of replacing my steel with some SS from the pond shop, will cut the cost tremendously on what other shops are charging. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 42 | here is another place: Termination Bar | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 42 | another one called Roof Wrap Termination Bar Roof Wrap | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | So far from what I'm seeing in these links is the ones that look the most realistic for bed strips are aluminum, not stainless. And the stainless ones don't look like bed strips.
They also seem to have holes every 8" or so, and you'd want no holes so you can put them where they belong..

I see that at least one of those strips above have predrilled holes at 6" on center.
