Re: National Gathering @ Wings & Wheels - 13 & 14 August 2011

Re: Shelf/Area at the end of the van

Hi Misty Meg, That's just what we did in the end, got a 2ft wide ply from B&Q, put a long baton of wood front and back on the underside with another 2 batons running the other way so it divides the ply into 3, all screwed from the top as the ply not thick enough, we then used these to attach legs to...
