A protective liner system and method for installing the same on a structure such as a dump truck hopper are disclosed. The protective liner system comprises a plurality of sheet members securely fastened to the otherwise exposed surface of the structure. The edges of adjacent sheet members are joined by an overlapping sliding joint wherein the sheet members are in first- edge to second-edge facing relation such that the first-edge of one sheet member is spacially opposed the second-edge of a second sheet member so as to form a gap therebetween. A first spanning member contacts the first faces of the sheet members and is securely fastened to the metal structure so as to be in intimately contacting sliding relation to the first faces of the sheet members. The sheets are also placed in first-end to second-end juxtaposed relation such that a downwardly sloped portion of the first-end of one sheet functionally contacts a second-end on the first face of the other sheet, so as to create a joint that is substantially flush at its top face. The protective liner system thus configured allows for lateral expansion of the sheet members so as to preclude buckling of the sheet members during expansion and loss of sealant placed between adjacent ends of the sheet members.
