And wait Are you saying you bought the wood wrapped like that?

Wow. Gotta admit... I read the title of this thread and had to look... thinking I was in for a good laugh. But this tonneau actually looks pretty clean for a home made job! Good work. The only suggestion I'd have for anyone thinking about doing this is to upgrade to a higher quality, more stable plywood such as 3/4" MDO (medium density overlay). It's very smooth and made to take paint or any other adhesive covering and is better suited for outdoor applications. Great job though!

hmm...not usually one for tonneau covers, but that does look good!

You could try screwing some nylon strap for your hinge on the underside. Give it a little slack so it will flip the full 180 degrees and lay flat on the top of the cover... 2 D rings with nylon strap should make a great hidden hinge. I would do at least 2 of them.

Or some barn hinges will work and keep it ridged unlike the nylon.
