That's a very nice job, John.

I may steal your idea shamelessly.

Beautiful John, just beautiful :!:

I saw your hatch entrance from the outside in another photo and was wondering what it looked like from the other side........Great Job.

we put clear hatches in ours....but that doesnt leave for much airflow...great idea.

I had considered making something with louvers for ventilation while keeping out the rain. But it would probably be more labor intensive. I really like the looks of your mod., both inside and out, and the smoked lexan still gives you some privacy. One question…………..how much “flex” does the ¼ inch lexan have? Is it rigid enough?

Thanks.

The 1/4 is as strong as the original which is strong in the middle but weak in the edges about 1/8" If I ever have to replace it I would go with 3/8" if avail. as my slot would allow it to fit
