I plan on using the FlexBed to its full potential.
I have ordered an 8' long plastic rubber 2 X 4 board to cut for the bed.
This is a specially made board that takes a while to arrive, (end of August delivery)
I thought this would be extra protection of the bed itself as well as my loads.
Here is the (Menards) info if anyone else interested:

2 x 4 x 8' Black Plastic Lumber
(Actual Size 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 8')
Model Number: 1129972 Menards ® SKU: 1129972

I like the idea, I wonder if it will bend or melt in the 100 degree summer heat... never actually touched one of those plastic 2x4s

Me either, but for $20, thought it would be worth a try. (or should I say it 'wood' be worth a try), lol

This looks like it will be a worthy investment. I'll have to look into one for myself.

I might have to try that, get a couple and cut to size and just use them forever instead of standard wood that may rot eventually.
