Whew...thanks everyone for the replies!!! The cover is nothing but cabinet grade 1/2" plywood, jointed, and covered with f'glass resin, sanded, primed and painted. It is re-enforced underneath with a 2x4 frame and crossmembers. We laid the cover over the bed and scroll marked the outline from inside the bed, cut to fit and rested the whole thing on 1/2" alum angle down each bed side. I did run 2 center supports. Been on there 3 years now. It doesn't lift or anything, I think it's too heavy for that.
