|
|
Hey, my name is Ari. Long time lurker first time poster.
I just bought a Chevy Express cargo van. Id like to build a PVC board rack. I _think_ I have the rack figured out, but Im not sure the best way to mount it to the wall and floor.
Any ideas/plans/pictures? Im a total non-handyman klutz, so details required.
Also, Ive seen some guys with a raised plywood platform for a bed, with sail storage underneath. Anyone have experience building that?
Thanks,
- Ari |

If youre a klutz, youre right in starting with woood and PVC, because mistakes are relatively cheap and can be thrown away or used as smaller parts. If you cut something too short, you can always keep cutting until you get it long enough.
Be sure you provide a crash barrier between you and those boards, so they dont take your head right out through the windshield in a fender bender or worse.
