Got the door framed and mounted. I flattened my favorite Strong-tie A21 angle bracket to tie the frame together. The doors seem pretty sturdy and might not need a bottom crossbar setup. We'll find out soon enough...

The top crossbar will have brackets that will slide into the door frames. The back edge will be wedged under the tub lid and the front edge will be locked down with a pin clip. Hopefully it will be enough to keep them together.

I mounted the amber side markers from behind so it's not sticking out.
