tonneau cover suggestions

Hey, im looking to purchase or build some sort of tonneau cover for my long box bed. Ive looked at them at our local lordco but they want 500 bucks(CAD) for a rounded fiberglass one and thats just not gonna cut it. So i was thinking about building one, and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what materials to use or if anyone knew where i could buy something like the one in this pic below for a bit cheaper then one of thoes rounded fiberflass ones. Thanks

Dude I built my own for my shortbed but if you build it u can make it any size. For a longbed id make it hinge in the middle so only the back half opened or the front half. I used 3/4 inch tongue-n-groove plywood, the stuff u use for house floors, and built a 2x2 box frame to attach it to. Then covered it in marine grade vinyl with a layer of halfinch foam under it. I like mine b/c i can stand on it and it dont move. Im 6'7" tall and 350lbs and if it dont move with me on it then you know its strong. P.S. it makes a good dance floor for the ladies at the car shows.

Thanks for the suggestion, would you happen to have any pictures?

Yeah I'd like to see pics as well

Dude this forum is loaded with us NC fellas!

I have pics of the bedcover on the truck but no pics of it during building process. I will post them up as soon as i find them.

alright thanks

im gonna have to take more pics and post them up i cant find them but i did find my old pics of my ex on my s10 leaving nothing to the imagination

thats a great idea and ive considered it only problem bro is if you got someone who doesnt like you and they feel like being a dick and box cutter and that cover are gonna make real good friends then what do you got, a big ole cut right down ur cover

...well if its painted they could just key it/scratch it all up.

i never really thought of doing one with just wood and then covering it. probably be cheap, maybe not look as nice, but def serve the purpose of keeping it covered.

I made this one out of fiberglass.
