2x6 Bed Divider for the Flexbed

[gametyme89]

2x6 at 54 1/4. It fits, I just think I want a taller one. Maybe 2x10? Might just stack a 2x4 over it. Don't know yet. Anyways, just sharing in case anyone wanted to see the 2x6 specifically. Going to paint whatever I use a matte black or maybe some type of bed liner spray if I can find some.

I need to do that. There was another post recently where the person painted it with Plastidip. I know nothing of the product but it looked good.

I would infer the same 2X6 @ 54-1/4" would fit perfectly across each of the three slots above the wheel well?

The bench is 55 even, by the way (Maybe a smidge less with the spray-in liner). Just in case you wanted to do that.

I think I've seen several people double stack 2x6s with good effect. Personally, a single one seems to work fine. Easier to take out too if you need the whole space, less hassle .

Maybe stack two... then you could use one of them in one of the other positions, if necessary.

None of the positions match in length. No idea why, especially since two of them are so close.

Here's a previous thread with a few different solutions and pictures

I went with two 2X8.

I didn't want smaller boxes to go flying towards the back but looks too high. I was wishing I went with 2X6 as soon as I put them in.

I'm going to assume if you're wanting to place your lumber like this, you'll need the 55" cut. The above pic is using the same 2x6 I had in the original images. It's too short to be secure in this configuration.

I think I'd prefer a single 2x8 over the 2x6 I have now, but 2x10 seems to be the best IMO, tho I don't want to pay for it

add these...will need to cut the divider down for fitment, but added adjustability will be handy.

I have a truck now! That means I just need to buy like 15 cuts of wood now that I can store in said truck bed. Because.. TRUCK STUFF!

Jokes aside... Probably just going to slap a cut 2x4 that I have laying around on top of the 2x6 for the height I want for my divider.. as far as laying lumber horizontally over the wheel wells, I was just sharing what that looked like for someone else in this thread. I don't personally have a use for that configuration at the moment.

Either way, thanks for the tip and product info!

I used a 2x10. Be careful if you have a cover on your bed. I have the hard tri-fold cover and the 2x10 barely pulls out. I have to be very careful not to damage the railings holding the cover on. I most likely am going to have to rip an inch off to make it better. I will add pics when I can.

Thanks for the heads up. 2x8 for me then.
