Hi, I made one out of wood,and it was kinda a pain to install. First we made the shelf with door. Just a bottom piece, and a back and a front. No sides, no top. Then to install it I got some L brackets. After getting them I realized that since the roof is curved the L brackets come off curved wrong to screw in the shelf. Soooo, I bent 4 L brackets like a arch. Those would be the ones to attach to the roof. Then I took 4 more L brackets, and left them the way they were, screwed them to the other arch L brackets. Then that leaves you with a squared off area to screw the shelf in.
hope this helps,

pointers?
