Hatch Trim

Post by ed c. »

Where can I buy the 90 Deg. hatch trim . The hatches measure 24" x 37" inside floors. The metal is 1/2" along the side of the hatch and then is about 1/8" on the top. Any help would be appreciated.

Ed: That is what I used on my deck. If you are careful you can bend it around a radius with a rubber mallet, but the better way is to make a male and female "mold" of the bend out of wood or lexan that you can bend the radius with in a vise or press. The trim clamps between the two piece of the "mold" and they press it to shape between them with no kinks, etc. You cannot make the radius too tight or the top edge of the trim will kink too badly to be hammered back down (remember that the top edge is being compressed by the bend).
