Quick tip for anyone planning on Northern or Far Northern Queensland trips. Seal the ply completely. Tung oil, Flooring finish, estapol, etc. Carpet (if you must) after sealing. Wait for seal to dry completely. Edit; wouldn't hurt to paint the 2×4's either, especially the ends.
Hi Just come across yr video. I planned my canopy for 6months put a false floor in and 4months later removed it later due to realising it didn’t suit my needs. Cheers Out There Touring
nice vid, good clear photos. but wow that music.... you could have added some lift up panels to make a little bit of storage under the floor board if you wanted to.
Nice job, looks good mate. I dont know if it makes much difference or not, but if you run the flooring carpet from side to side rather than front to back, would that make it easier for blowing out sand etc?

Leaks like a siv , double sided tape comes in larger sizes and also strips that are one side adhesive also for seal protection purposes
Great job. Nice and simple
Looks great mate. Im in the process of building a box for the ute and was mulling over a floor or not, turns out the internet reads my thoughts.
I once used balsa wood to seal , the right texture matters
How much weight did this add altogether.

Thanks for the comment, and yea, you make a great point. But I'm very new to this canopy build stuff. Live and learn, eh. :)
Hey mate just wondering where you got the marine carpet from ? Cheers
I got mine from Bunnings, but I'm sure there would be many places that stock it. Good luck
@@YANKandCLOVER-discover-AUS cheers mate appreciate it. Build looks great!
