As the title states plywood/fiberglass roof to come. I’ve been tossing around the idea of building a roof for my 1000-5 for some time now. I wanted to go with aluminum but the price is ridiculous in my area. Was considering HDPE but that to is high and plus I’d be needing to mount amp and speakers so that’s out. So the idea I’ve came up with was plywood and fiberglass. I’ve worked with both a decent amount but not together. So my initial plan is to get 2 3/8 pieces of plywood and cut out the design following the cage. I’d then sand and stitch the two together using fiberglass. Once that is secure I’ll lay 2 layers of 1708 cloth and wet in on the top side of roof. Mind you I’ll router the edges so no sharp corners will be an issue. Once top side is cured I’ll flip the roof over and apply one layer of 1708 and wet in. When both sides are cured I’ll sand entire roof and bed line the top and hydro turf the inside. If I’m thinking right that should be plenty of strength for what I need. Also think it’ll last way longer than just painting and sealing the wood. Any feed back is very much appreciated. I plan to start this soon and if anyone has attempted this I’d sure like some feed back on it. Once I start I’ll be taking pics of progress.
