Built For The Road: Custom Metalwork Solutions in El Dorado County

Sometimes, our customers arrive with a clear plan—and all the materials to match. This project involved creating a custom cargo box for a travel van, specifically designed to carry a hydrofoil surfboard. The client sourced all the aluminum, hardware, and struts. This not only helped keep costs down but also allowed the project to progress quickly.
Built to Fit the Trip
The goal was straightforward: build a lightweight, durable storage solution that would securely hold a specialized hydrofoil board while traveling across the country. Everything needed to be clean, square, and strong—without adding unnecessary weight.
What We Did
Welded a frame using 1” square aluminum tubing.
Installed 16-gauge aluminum sheet for the body and internal shelf.
Assembled and mounted customer-provided hardware and gas struts.
Built to exact dimensions to fit the surfboard and van setup.
Fully welded and prepped for use.
Customer-Driven Build
This project exemplified collaboration. The customer came prepared with materials and a clear design. We brought it all together into a finished product that’s ready for the road.
Ready to Travel
With the box complete, it’s ready to be mounted and put to use. It’s built to handle the miles ahead and keep gear secure along the way.
