Wood planks

Background

Refer to the wood bed discusssion. We elected “Pattern F” with five 1×8 white oak planks and four 60″ metal holding strips from Mar-K. The side edges are covered by 1.5″ aluminum L-angle bar fastened with bolts/rivnuts to the bed wall but not to the wood planks; this allows for “wood breathing” due to temperature and moisture changes as well as bar removal if the wood needs replacement or cleaning.
