Looks nice. Have you tested it yet? You may get some deflection in the middle without any supports there, but with so many bars running lengthwise you might be ok. Just measure the height of the opening static, then measure it at like 30psi and see how much it is.

Looks nice and clean. Definitely do a stress test. You'd be surprised at the forces at play.
