ny suggestions? Mine came with nothing. I'm thinking thin ply but having measured it the centre section doesnt lend itself easily to 8x4 board!
I havnt got the budget to have the while roof lined with usual automotive lining - will prop do cab area with that though.
Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Replacing the ceiling in a tin top
Cheers for that. I see how you did that. When I measured I found there would be nothing along the sides to secure to - only accross the strengthening bars in. Just wondered about the middle sagging over time?
Will have a stab at this ASAP

Re: Replacing the ceiling in a tin top
i did mine as above but with hardboard 5 years ago...it sags in middle, but not too noticeably. "upgrading" to plywood is a winter upgrade this year
