$400 BUDGET CANOPY BUILD - How to build DIY Custom Drawers

I couldn't go past a Facebook Marketplace deal. Decided to do a full custom build of this canopy and show you how it can be done on a budget! Let me know if you have any questions or ideas on what I should have done.

Looks awesome Josh you have done a great job on the canopy. Even those draws maté you look like you have done this before they have turned out excellent. Always looking forward to seeing you on your next video. Hopefully next one coming up is a bit of 4 w d

Really appreciate the comment mate. Means a lot. I'll have some more 4wd'ing coming soon. Might be a few more build ones first though

Josh, with those full extension drawer runners take a measurement from face to face of the carcase and then subtract 25 mm and that will give you the outside face size of your drawer. You then subtract the thickness of both drawer sides and that gives you the width of your drawer bottom. Mark 😊

Thanks for that Mark - that is super handy!

No to Liquid Nails as it sets hard. You need flexibility in your vehicle boxes so use a roofing silicone or a Sikaflex type sealant. Anti-fungal or acetic silicone to prevent mould growth.
Important tip, only use Neutral silicone to fix mirrors as ordinary acetic silicones and Sikaflex eat the silver backing of mirrors!

You are a man of knowledge! That is actually a great tip and something I will switch too! THanks heaps for that

Did you have to put in a striker plate for the right drawer latch/handle? Looking to build something similar. Cheers for the help Josh

[@JRCadventures]

Hey Mitch, yes I did. I just used a right angle bracket and then screwed it to the top. Happy to send you a few photos if you want.

Looks very good. Will it fit into a drop-down slide?

[@JRCadventures]

Yeah it potentially could, but built it for the upright fridge. :) They take up less room I have found

One metre by... 1770 you say? Sounds like a call to head up Agnes Waters way! A great build mate, well done!

[@JRCadventures]

HAHA thats brilliant. I didn't think of that.
