Floor repair

What gauge sheet metal has anyone used for floor repair. Did you pop rivit weld or screw down? I was thinking about screwing repair sheets down. Any experiance?

Thanks Chuck

i havent checked, but its somewhere like 16ga. its easy to mig weld after ya grind it clean, i have done that, and also predrilled holes for things like the center of the walls and the dinette base. i used 18 ga when i was making up a couple of patch panels cause that is what i buy in sheets at the scrap yard. pop riveting with steel rivets would work fine as well, and be easier than screwing it together in my estimation...
i just put about 100 pop rivets in some panels on mine... on sunday.

Thanks for the reply sounds like riets would be easier then screws. They look like they would lay flatter then a screw head. Thanks Chuck
