What type of metal is on the side of boxes? What type of metal are "slippery" rails made out of?
Making a 16ft box to go with my drop in ramp and need something for the edges.

just straight up regular old steel is what park rails are. aka "slippery" rails. they do rust, but it takes a while, and if you cover it and brush it off when it snows, it will last for many years
