Whipped this up this morning. Bunnings wanted $94 for the checker plate. Went to the local metal fabricator and he charged me $18 and cut it to the size I wanted. $25 for the other fitting. Fairly happy. Attachment 51106Attachment 51107

well done mate, thats cheap az.
Good job looks great
That looks great! I have been.meaning to get around to making one too
What did you use for the straps?
I got some wire rope. Mounted the top eyelet thing behind the plastic to keep it looking tidy. Just need to trim the screws and make something to hold it up. Attachment 51192
Awesome, thanks for the info!!
How much weight can you put on it b4 it flexes? It's come up good mate, and nice price also
Until what flexes? Chequer plate or barn door?
Chequer plate
I like the idea but wondering if ill put a fold on the front
As in double over the front, or make a small lip that points down, to give a bit of rigidity?
Yea a small lip on the front and possibly magnets to keep it shut, obviously the magnets won't stick to the aluminium but some steel on each corner
Torneau loops.
Yeh not a bad idea. I'll see how it goes, I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall it.
I'm looking at buying one of these!
Has anyone else purchased one through Rasslar?
I brought mine off ebay ages ago - stainless steel with all the fittings required - was about $300 from memory
