I’ve been pondering ways to make a relatively lightweight lift-up awning/cover for a TV cabinet.

One idea I had was possibly building an aluminum L-channel frame, and securing 1/4 PVC board to it as my finished siding.

Only issue is that welding is not in my skill set, and a call to a few local shops made it clear they’re not interested in taking on even a small project right now (“we’re backed up 8 weeks or so”)

Would rivets do the trick?
