As for the bracket, you are probably right...one of these days I will learn. That top sounds a bit thin, but it depends on the span and supports. I bet it will flex a bit if he intends to walk on it, but hopefully will serve him well.Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-3667387219158006882018-03-17T14:32:02.618-06:002018-03-17T14:32:02.618-06:00Great to see and hear that you finished all the ch...Great to see and hear that you finished all the chores on Rover. Good tip on the lettering. Also who would have thought an engine bracket would be such a problem or cost so much, I think you'd done better cutting it off and going to a welder/fabricator yourself. Did you end up replacing the safety netting? I do hope Rover finds a new owner and you won't have to do another maintenance trip. I did give your blog to a cat owner making a hardtop bimini, Tula's endless summer, he went with one layer 1/2" foam and single fiberglas cloth epoxied on each side. Hope it holds his weight.<br />Doug in cold and snowy VTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
