Another way to make a bed divider

[Hack]

I bought an 8-foot piece of schedule 40 PVC, 1 1/4 I think; it has an outside diameter very close to the thickness of a 2x4. I cut two pieces to length, snugged them together with zip ties, then spread PVC pipe cement on both sides where they came together. When the glue is dry you can remove the zip ties. I filed the corners a little to get a snug fit.

I'm happy with how it turned out. Not too spendy and much slicker and lighter than a 2x4.

I tried uploading a photo, but that didn't seem to work.

Yeah, we're going to need to see pictures. The width of the FlexBed slots is 54" plus, so an 8-foot (96") length would give you 1 correct length, not 2 to glue together.

This is my PVC version. May end up chopping the very top crossbar off and just go with the two bottom ones.

Did you pop rivit it together? PVC glue is good no?

I went with dry wood and cut hole in it which made it very light weight. Also, I carry some heavy loads such as lumber, so I wanted something that could carry that load.

Great idea...looks so much better than my old cedar fence picket. Looking like a trip to Home Depot soon!
