I think so, as long as you got the details right. By details I mean how much expansion there is when the hatch opens. You'd have to fiddle with it after it is in place. Maybe a rubber/plastic of the right mil thickness, like pond liners and such. I have some I could use from a defunct roof-pond experiment back in the day.

But I'm just all talk right now, I haven't built anything.
