As a possible alternative, you might consider the rubber matting with
diamond plate pattern that I obtained from Griot's Garage, if memory
serves. It wouldn't add much to stiffness, if that's what you're after,
but it would make walking around up there a lot nicer. I have some left
over after making a set of floor mats, and I'm thinking about gluing some
to the top of the rear wheel wells, so the dogs don't skitter around so
much on turns.
