Rear storage area diamond deck plate

I have a very small dog that I some times take ridding in my 570 with me in the forest. He rode in the rear storage area. That place was very hot. I bought a piece of aluminum diamond deck plate and a piece of 1/2" ply wood. I cut those two to fit in the storage area. Between them I put a piece of heat deflecting material.
This area still gets very hot but it makes for a good looking storage surface. I did this job early last year and I thought I would share the pictures with you. The dog was never happy ridding there. He would always end up ridding in my lap.
