Re: Cargo panel material

I was looking to use HDPE - 1'8" thick. I believe 1 sheet (4' x 8') can be cut down and will cover both sides - haven't measured to be sure though. Waterproof, available in white/black, etc.

Link to Menards product - here

Let us know which route you go...need to do this in the future as well.

Komatex (PVC board) can be had in 1/8" or 1/4" thickness and comes in red. If you have a sign company local to you they could order in a 4x8 sheet for you

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
