BEEN BUSY….

What was the length of these cross boards:
And did you use 2x6 ?

 

Pretty good. It's 2x6.

 

I actually used 1x6 across &
2x4 for the rest.

 

I got 2 sticks of 2x6 left over from another outdoor project the wife did - it's about 105 outside otherwise I'd go measure the width and cut 'em
to see how I like it. Not sure how I'd use 'em tho... would be cool to stack the kayaks with if the height worked out.

 

The 1x6x8 I cut them to 571/2”.
The 2x4x8 I cut those to 57 3/4”.

 

I think a 2x6 would ride without bottom supports - seems the wife cut mine I ain't got no 57 1/2 left but we'll be
buying some more... when I do I'll pick up 2 extra I could see where this could come in handy.

 

There’s one way to get people to not tail gate

 

@COOXDREAM Looks good! I like the flip up flaps on the sides. I have been looking at the Bambeds board setup. But I can't justify the money for them. I am going to have to a deep dive in the barn this week to check out what boards I have. I just don't think that I have any 2x6's over 4 foot long.

 

Two 2x4's fit perfectly in those cutouts, no need for support below.

 

Wow, how do you keep that bed so damn clean...

 

haha it was brand new then…

 

I like the little extra support.I’m going to have both sides be able to flip up. I didn’t have another set of hinges, in time I’ll do it.

 

Hinges and your setup is a neat idea. Particularly if you’re planning to leave it in place more or less permanently. Nicely done.
