teamworker Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 3/4" plywood free span between angle iron mounted to side walls. When I got the plywood fresh and moist from Lowes, I cut the main piece the long way spanning and then set it in place with the better side down. I put on weights so it would dry deflected down. After dried, primed and painted I put it in with good side up now with a 1/4" crown. The brace for the foot board was made with bracing removed from the area under the floor. Head of the bed folded down for ease of loading groceries, etc. Full space for bins under bed. Foot of bed folds back to allow mid area fully open to carry dogs.

Chip Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Team worker: nice install. Looks clean and simple. building in an arch seems like a great idea, has it worked out? If you have time, could you share: 1. How’d you attach the angle to the side walls, and can you still get your jack out? 2. I have a similar shelf in the passenger side, rear, blind, window cavity. Mine are attached to the wall with sheet metal screws. What’s holding yours on? 3. Is your fan powered by the van battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
