DIY Gap Guards

What is it that you used?

It looks like a huge sheet of that art paper used back in the 2nd grade I forget what it's called...It looked good until the huge wrinkle in it. How tall/wide is that paper? It's like a straight up wall. You only need to cover the gap between the bed and frame...

Sorry I don't have any better pictures on my computer. I used aluminum siding from Home Depot/Lowes/etc. It was 8' long, I sprayed it black. It's held in from the top of the bed using machine screws and the bottom is zip tied to the holes in the frame. Looks really good, makes zero noise and has yet to annoy me.

I found a 3/8s thick peice of rubber mat at work today, 3' by 4'... a bit overkill but whatever. Now the pleasure of cutting it lol. Burning Rubber anyone?

I would draw a line, find a knife, set it on the line and hit the back of the knife with a hammer, chop it basically. That how I cut stuff without getting burs or crooked lines.

I think they sell rubber at home depot by the carpet rolls. I know orchard also carries black rubber mats too that should work
