Bed Extender Hack (prevents things from sliding off the bed)

[23minimav]

I added these features on my bed extender to prevent things from sliding off the bed.
For strength I doubled the Galvanized wire.
To prevent you from cutting or poking yourself from the galvanized wire I inserted rubber car door edge on top, bottom and the two sides.
Zip ties are used to hold down the rubber car door edges in place.
Self-Drilling Tek Screws and washers are used to hold in place the galvanized wire on the bed extender.
12-Gauge Electro-galvanized Half Slot Channel Strut on top of my bed extender allows me to place plywood or long item stuff on top of the bed extender preventing galvanized wire from bending.
Strut Channel Cap is for the 12-Gauge Electro-galvanized Half Slot Channel Strut sides
Ball Bungee Cord is to hold down the 12-Gauge Electro-galvanized Half Slot Channel
I added the Reflectors for safety reasons to prevent drivers behind me from driving to close.

Is your bed extender OEM OR AFTERMARKET?

For those of you who only look at the pretty pictures without reading first, the parts list clearly shows this is a nice, less expensive than OEM, AFTERMARKET bed extender
