Bakkie cover

I thought I would share my recent build here. I needed a cover for my Isuzu's bak. Options were canopies, tonneu covers, rolling doors, etc. All more than R5000 ( prices that I could find...)

So I wanted a cover that would be reasonably water tight, strong enought to carry 200kg, easy to access yet secure enough to keep long fingers at bay.

So I built my own lid cover. It has 3x door/hatches. Made of mild steel and needs at least 2x people to lift it...

I have painted it black but my paint skills are lacking... will have to redo this when we are back from holiday. At least its not rusting Image and its holding up. I will have to improve the locking mechanism of the side hatches as well. The locks move around a bit when they are open - no problem when they are locked though Image

Wife is happy with how it looks and I am happy that it is still on the bak... ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Well done.
It does sound heavy though.
Is it waterproof?

I had a few leaks. But it seems I sorted it. Haven't had anything stolen yet... 😁
