This weekend, I made a ton of progress, as you'll see. Today, I'll be posting a long thread of photos of the whole process I went through to assemble a side liner, and surprisingly (at least a little to me), I seemed to have gotten it mostly right the first time, which is awesome!
W6USA, provided me with some excellent photos from his FWC Grandby, along with some measurements, that provided some very detailed, up close shots, enabling me to study them carefully, and come up with plans to make my own. (thanks again, Scott!)
Here's one example:
I ordered my materials from Sailrite, which included the following:
5 yards of Shelter-Rite, grey, 18oz vinyl covered polyester (comes in 61" width)
2 yards of clear 18oz clear window material (comes in 54" width I think)
2 yards of Fiberglas reinforced screen material (comes in 61" width)
2 large spools of v92 upholstery thread with uv protection, 1-white and 1-black
2" Velcro loop
2" Velcro hook
You can go to their sight at Sailrite.com, and check it out, the materials are of very high quality, and if you have any questions, they are very patient and willing to answer questions, and help in any way they can. Also on their sight, they have many, many how to videos that were invaluable to me to learn sewing techniques, seams, and assembly process. Thumbs up for Sailrite!
After studying the photos shots I received, and some additional ones I was later able to take, I came up with the following rough plans. The measurements are not exact, but illustrate how I try to get organize before building something, such as wood project.
Alright, here we go. I'll try to keep my commentary to a minimum, and hope that the pictures will be of help and interest to others.
