metal decking product
 

What is the brand name or common term
for the decking product used on grates
and sometimes the back of tractor trailer trucks.

This product is about 3/16 thick, 1 inch strips
of steel that are twisted allowing a grating of sorts.

Thanks.

Hey Stone,

Try asking for "expanded metal". Another popular one for the purpose
is called "checker plate".

Take care.

I'm almost 100% sure the answer given by others is correct when they said
"expanded metal" however, you might be talking about Diamond Plate...

A long shot, but folks have been known (me?!?) to describe something in a
way that leads to a different conclusion from time to time too.
