We travel with 2 dogs so we need room for their beds, water, etc. The platform is waterproof and is easy to clean with a hose.

It's just plywood coated with waterproof paint. The top is covered with non-slip rubber that I bought at Home Depot and glued to the wood. Though the platform is waterproof the bottom of the bed will still get wet in the rain (unless you have a shell) because I don't think it would be possible to get a watertight seal between the platform and tailgate.Cackalak Han said:What did you make the platform out of?
