Bed Deck in Pop Up- other products apart from 15mm ply?

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Marc Mears, May 9, 2013.

  1. I am looking to take out the two hammocks (Danbury) in the pop up and replacing them with a full width sections of 15 mm ply – (in panels so I can slide them on top of each other) so I can put a blow up mattress up there for my kid.
    I am wondering if there are any light weight composites that will do the job as 15 mm ply is quite heavy – has anyone got any ideas- or better still has anyone done this.
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks
    Marc
     
  2. if youre rich, carbon fibre or poly carbonate sheet? (would need to be reinforced) :)
     
  3. Devon moonraker double top bed panels are kind of hollow; a bit like a cheap internal door but pretty strong. I guess you could make a framework and then encase it in thinner ply. This might be pretty tricky though and not sure just how much weight you'd actually save?
