Here is a simple, cheap project for bed storage I thought I would share. Started with the idea I may need to carry plywood, then how do I carry my gas cans after refill and make sure they don't surf around the bed. Here is what I came up with: Materials list: (2) 2x6 8 feet long (cut down to fit bed width) all weather mat/carpet from Home Depot (think it was precut 4x8 - roughly $25) wood screws (for the extra square) and a bunch of staples (for the carpet wrap of the 2x6) cheap bungees from Northern Tool (about $6) The two main pieces will fit in the horizontal pockets in the bed for carrying plywood and well as forming a partition wall. The extra square (made from the 2x6 scraps) locks into the bottom rail and holds gas cans and small items to keep from roaming. I cut down the carpet for the bed (as things get scuffed from sliding around) and then wrapped the 2x6s with the extra carpet to minimize the wood rattling. If I need it, I bungee items between the bed hooks to pin them against the wood. Hope this helps give people ideas
