Dryer duct enclosing exhaust pipe with Coroplast on top - ideas ?

I'm asking for any advice on enclosing my exhaust pipe within thin aluminum dryer ducting.
I'm hoping that this would shield Coroplast panels thst would rest upon the ducting. ( Here in blue )
I plan to test it, and see how hot the ducting gets, but wanted to ask in case it has been done before.
I would guess that the only way it might work, is to make sure there is a large air gap below the exhaust pipe using large spacers ( As seen in example B using the green spacers )
Still though, I'm sure that dryer ducting would degrade quite fast under these temperatures.
I'm thinking of also creating a NACA duct on the belly pan that would feed cool air directly into the dryer duct.
Advice anyone ?
