Install plexi-glass
and build a solid roof : |
| |
The top plank of the
roof is still solid when opened.
Don't hesitate to install large hinges for
weight distribution and strength.
Two pieces of wood are screwed below the roof
cover. They will ensure the stability of the top
of the structure. Once the roof section is
closed, these pieces of wood will rest against
the sides of the pieces of the interior
structure. |
