The cross sills on the bed are 3/16 thick. I figure 4 rows of fasteners with two per board at each cross sill. Flat-head plow bolts would be one option. Recessed pan head screws with washers would be another. If I routed the top of one board and the bottom of the next and overlap I could get by with one fastener per board per cross sill. That would also allow for expansion/contraction without having a gap, just a recess in the surface. This bed will probably be painted black. (If it were pretty I would be hesitant to use it!). What would you guys recommend? New pics in Webshots: http://community.webshots.com/user/ScottinWV
