peer agreement (net): +1galvanized steel sheet Explanation: "トタン板" is not an iron sheet but a steel sheet. More accurate translation is hot dip galvanized steel sheet in distinction from electrolytic galvanized steel sheet. Many dictionaries mix up "鉄" (iron) with "鋼" (steel) and "トタン板" (galvanized steel sheet) with "ブリキ板" (tin plated steel sheet). |

tin/steel sheet Explanation: This is just a steel plate for blocking as suggested, but it is not galvanized. That would be a different word (Tin sheets rust like hell here in Okinawa) |
