MADE MYSELF A CUSTOM PARCEL SHELF "pics"

[si tate]

I could'nt find an original one so i thought i'd make my own.

That looks as smart as a carrot !

Could you give more details of the construction please ? Preferably in a form suitable for those of us that are not of a DIY mentality !

Cheers

looks good that.....

It was a bit of a pain mate although i am a kitchen fitter so i have all the tools to hand.

Its a bit hard to go through it step by step cos i altered it about 3 times to get it to fit nice & snug, but basically its just 2 frames, the rear one is fixed & does'nt move although it can be removed with a screw driver, I did have to drill into the side of the boot for that. The front section is fully removable though. All it is is two frames made from 1/2"x 1" wood & 6mm ply over the top then covered with carpet tiles, i did use a bit of overkill on it though, it can actually hold the weight of a german sheppard as i found out the other day when it jumped in & decided to have a kipp on it.

[Predictable Bob]

No science then - just test and adjust until it fits (Which suits me fine cos that I can do !)

I'll give it some thought - ours will have to be fully (and easily) removeable cos we're forever ferrying crap about

Cheers

My seats still drop down so anything long will go in. I mean it does'nt have to be as tough as mine is but the more rigid you make it the less it will rattle about "i hate any rattles or creeks" does my head in.

[Predictable Bob]

I've got a distinct advantage over most Surfers when it comes to rattles and creaks ........

I'm practically deaf in one ear and the other one's not a lot better !

Cheers chaps, it only costs about £25 in total + a few little cuts & splinters to my fingers.
