I was thinking about the same thing, except all the border material I've looked at is rather flimsy. Spent quite a bit of time at the big box hardware stores looking, actually.

Sometime soon, I'm going to contact a local semi truck trailer outfitter, and see how much the rubber skirting they put on the bottom of trailer wings would run me... You know, scrap pieces. I think that would have the rigidity needed. Probably out of my price range, but, you know, it's a thought.
