why not just use pressure treated marine plywood then paint it with a sealer/sand combo. way cheaper with the same results in traction. last a long time too

I am not exactly sure but I think you need 1/4 inch. But I can tell you it is about $50 a sheet:eek2: .

Keep that metal painted, because expanded metal will get weak really easy when it gets rusty...
