How To Make A Divider for the Lower Bed Box - Can-Am Commander Forum

By RoadRage

How To Make A Divider for the Lower Bed Box

---

I had a little time today to build a divider for the lower bed box. To save the next guy a little time on the dimensions, I thought I would go ahead and write this up real quick.
I made mine using 1/2" plywood that I had laying around. I suppose any 1/2" material will work just fine for this.
You will need to start with a piece that is 27.5" x 9.25". Measure down 3" from the top on each side and in 1/2" from the sides on the bottom. Draw a line connecting the 2 tick marks and cut away the material, forming a slight angle at the bottom. (The brown lines represent the original piece of material that will be removed). Round off the bottom corners using a coffee cup as a template.
I painted my divider black after I took these pictures. Hope this saves you a little time.
