Help with Storage Bench

[oomp]

Hi

I am at a complete loss at the moment as to how to finish my latest project. Basically i'm building an outdoor storage box that doubles as a bench. This is mounted off the fence and my plan was to cover it with decking boards running parallel to the fence. The problem is now to make the lid hinge i had to sit the frame about 50mm of the fence and now not sure how to fill this gap. Is there something better i could/should have done. I've attached a drawing to clarify what i mean.

Thanks in advance

How about running a board the same thickness as the lid in the gap and fitting a flush mount hinge to the top of the lid and the board.

Thanks will try tommorow. Now that you mention it does seem like the obvious way of doing things but i guess thats what learning is all about
