A great value for a flatbed, and very well designed. These guys will walk you through any problems you have when building, and you get a great flatbed at half the cost of a commercial one. I am very proud to say I built this, and I couldn’t have done it on my own. I highly recommend even if you are an amateur welder like myself that you give this a try.

I give DDF 5 stars. These guys were amazing to buy products from. Easy to talk to, helpful service and very clear instructions. If you can read a tape and are a decent fabricator this is the place for you. Personally I’m letting my bed get some surface rust then I’m going to clear coat it, I love the way it looks. These guys are awesome, well worth my time!!

The order process was easy and fast. The bed is a very simple design that you can either build exactly to print or throw your own ideas into it. The blueprints are a little lacking in detail but if you have half a brain, you can figure it out. If you do have questions reach out to their customer support and they answer quick and very helpful. Overall, very happy with my decision to go with DD Fab.

I wanted a durable and functional truck bed that would stand up to use for years to come, after the original truck bed was rusted out, and had a tree fall on it, I decided building my own flatbed was the option that made the most sense, I wanted to have the pride of building my own, and save some money in the process, and this kit did an amazing job at that! I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for a durable, and good looking flatbed!

Now that I’m all wrapped up with this project, I can relax a write up my own two cents worth of a review. I could not have had a better online interactive experience than this flatbed project with DD. The pricing was fair for what was actually physically provided by DD, but the real value was the easily acquired tutorials on how to build this thing. Give that guy a raise. Step by step, clear instruction on the build took the anxiety completely out of this build. This project was epic. Had I only kept things on the simpler side, I suppose it would not have taken as long. But because I wanted to make it my own, I added a lot of time and work to it. In the end, I am very pleased with the outcome and satisfied knowing I made the right choice by choosing to go with the Double D product.

I have to say I was overwhelmed at first. Once started everything fell into place. Your kits are a great foundation to leave as or to personalize and make it your own. I have new ideas now. Need to buy another truck.

Great product with lots of versatility. I wanted a flatbed, but also needed to incorporate a factory puck system for my fifth wheel and gooseneck ball so Double Diamond Fabrications plans were great as I could adjust and modify them to meet my needs easily. Finished product not only looks great but is very functional.

This kit is great. Blue prints were easy to follow. The tutorial videos are good, the tips and tricks in them helped a bunch. It’s a nice design that also gave me the freedom to modify the bed to fit my needs. The guys down at Double Diamond were awesome too. Very helpful and were very prompt in answering questions in text and email.

This was by far the best thing I have done in a very long time! I loved how nicely precise the measurements were and how quickly it went together. Most places here in Montana cost $7,000 or more for a new flat bed. This kit was greatly priced and very nice to look at. I am very pleased!!!

I couldn’t find a pre-built flatbed that I liked, so I found and purchased the DD flat-bed kit. The laser-cut pieces and design prints were great. Also, the video series on the assembly was put together very well. I made this bed for my son who is in the Navy. He loved it. Thanks, DD.

Amazing company! very easy to follow blueprints and video tutorials. this is the first thing I have ever built from raw material to finished product, and am pleased with the way it turned out. If you can read a tape measure and weld you can build it.

If you can read directions, read a tape, and cut and weld steel, you’ll have no problem with building this flatbed!
I needed do do something about the regular factory bed that was on my 2008 F250 work truck. The bed supports had totally rusted out and the bed just flopped around as it rolled down the road. Since I often need to pull around a construction site air compressor, I thought it might be nice to build my own flatbed so I could mount the compressor on the truck instead of pulling it. That would let me get into any space where the truck could fit. I checked out a lot of YouTube videos of folks building their own beds and came to the conclusion that everyone did it differently.
I am not new to metal working, but I am also not a professional fabricator. I’m sure I could’ve come up with a flatbed that would work, but these guys made it SO EASY! The detailed instructions were great. The materials list was great. But the videos that you are given access to for the build are the best part. It was a fun and relatively easy build, as long as you can cut steel accurately.
As far as the kit I received goes, it was of great quality. The steel was clean, rust free, and there was no defects in any of the machining. All of the pieces fit perfectly during fabrication and final assembly (lights and wire).
Customer service was pretty darn good too. I only reached out via email once during the build for a simple question and they got back to me within an hour with a response. I also messed up one of the rubber grommets to one of the LED marker lights when I was installing it. I looked all over my local hardware stores for a new grommet, but had no luck. I reached out to DD Fab and asked about where to get one. They responded quickly and told me they would send out a new grommet (and light because they come together) at no charge to me. WOW!
Overall, I am completely satisfied with their product and how they stand behind it! I hope you enjoy making your bed the way that you want it. This kit will give you a great bed.

Most of my welding has been repairing broken trucks or mangled equipment. I have a hard time paying folks to do stuff I can do myself, so the DD fab kit appealed to me. I have no fancy tools. Mig, 4 inch grinder, several squares, some c clamps. I ground everything out with cut off wheels in the grinder. I watched the videos then went to the shop to use what I had learned. The headache rack and it’s angles worried me, but when I got it ready to weld, I looked at it and thought ….this is genius these DD guys know their stuff. I needed some advice and Jerry fixed me right up, so the support is there if needed. Bed came out real nice. Thanks!

Excellent product and very affordable. The company was always easy to get in touch with when needed. I do wish the blueprints were more detailed for people like us working in a shop with no cell service. A few pointers for anyone looking into buying one: make sure you have a bandsaw, someone to help you is a good idea, experience with fabrication isn’t needed but definitely helpful. Overall we are so impressed and with be making another purchase in the future.

I ordered the Flat Bed kit as I have a friend who is an excellent welder, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result! This flatbed, tool boxes, light kit, and mud-flap kit couldn’t have worked out better. The attention to detail, and instructions were terrific! Would recommend to anyone looking at an affordable but high quality product!

The deck turned out great. The step by step videos were amazing and easy to follow. Having the full build plans saved a lot of time not having to do all the measurements and figuring out the whole deck myself. This saved me a lot of money by building it myself. Great end product and great project for the do it yourself person.

The kit and videos are very easy . I like that I can go over it all before I paid for it. There were no surprises or extra parts to pay for. I can make the bed fit my truck and styles for a better price then a regular bed. The customization that this model lets me do helps fit my needs at a better price.

If you’re looking to build a flatbed this is the way to go! This is an awesome company, sells a great product. Great customer service! Blueprints are clear and simple and the additional video tutorials help out. I had no issues getting this thing put together and ready for an Ag. Mech. Show. Looks slick and let me tell you this heavy duty bed could take a hit if needed. Highly recommend!

Do you feel you recieved a good value for the price paid? Why?:
Yes good value! Gives a great baseline to start your build. There are many ways you can vere off and make custom adjustments.
What was your favorite part about the process/product? What was your least favorite?:
Favorite thing was the dxf cut files. Simply forwarded the email to my local water cutting company and the parts were done. Least favorite isnt really the companies fault. The cost of the dimensional steel vary by location through out the country. I was able to purchase whole stick lengths for better cost. I also reduced the different types of steel used to cut costs as well.

Do you feel you recieved a good value for the price paid? Why?:
Honestly, I thought you were borderline too expensive at first…but what sold me was your creative step/fender design and so I decided it was worth the cost.
What was your favorite part about the process/product? What was your least favorite?:
Best part was that I still had the ability to customize the bed. The least favorite was the looooonnngg explanations and the repetitive nature of the tutorial videos! (I’m not critical but I’ve been welding and building stuff my entire life) I can see how someone who has never built anything…needed a great tutorial…which u did!
