I used 3 pieces of .020 and 3 pieces of J-channel. Note the nutplates installed along the longaron. The floor is in two piece otherwise you can remove them, with you need to do during inspections.
I computed a 10 lb limit and tested by placing 50 lb of lead shot in there on the ground. I thought that I would us it for sleeping bag or pillows, but never did. Last annual I took it out, so that I wouldn't hit my head on it every time I got in the back of something. I also saved myself 2 lb when I removed it.
It you need more pics from below I could send them to you.
