Yes, I used the veranda aluminum fencing from Home Depot. It’s seems like the perfect material, but the sizing is all wrong. It’s just barely too thick to fit in the rails and you need 10.75 fence panels to cover the bed, because the 11th piece needs shaved down to fit. After cutting everything to size, I designed and cut some end pieces that slide in the rails. Next step is epoxy to hold the pieces together, and add some extra weather stripping along the sides and edges. Then I’ll add Velcro and webbing to finish it up. My thought is I’ll be able to use the webbing to pull the panels towards the tailgate for removal, and then use it to strap them all together for storage. After that, I’m building some parts to convert it into a table. I found a vinyl tablecloth that fits perfectly, so hopefully it won’t add too much wear and tear.
