Re: satin in my bed

The wood usually sets in top of the side flange and under the tub flange. How did you set this up? Not a knock but just trying to wrap my brain around it. Keep up the good work!

Re: satin in my bed

when the tubs get bolted down the rubber presses tight against the wood to seal

Re: satin in my bed

the box is alot stronger with the checker plate on the bed sides and that way i dont have to lift the bed to replace the wood if it rots
