[QUOTE="Q45guy, post: 287285, member: 543758"] I don't mean to sound like an *** or anything, but why don't you just buy a fiberglass bed cover? If you don't get one with all the gizmos they aren't really all that expensive. If your dead set on building one yourself...I suggest you goto a truck accessory store and look at a manufactures bed cover's construction. They have aluminum beams under the fiberglass to hold it up. A big sheet of fiberglass wide enough to make a bed cover is gonna sink in the middle. You need bracing or its literally just gonna self destruct the first time you drive down the freeway. It'll ripple and wobble...then eventually fly to pieces. Here is a picture of a bed cover with underlying frame... [IMG]http://www.calconcepts.com/SoftCovers/tiltup/Craftec.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
