Its not cheap!

 

IIRC I priced some up a few years ago and was roughly £300 for an 8"x5" side.

 

Came in planks 200mm-400mm with.

 

Oh and its also heavy, well is compared to wooden boards.

But if you work out how much wood costs then you have to construct it, and then you look like the caravan dwellers.

 

Smart trucks are your advertising.

My chip box is constructed out of the aluminium they use for the airline containers. I don't think the construction is perfect so I need to do a couple of minor changes, but will take photos of the construction etc and how the boards are attached etc, then give it a weigh. Don't know what the original weight was (shame on me).

use ply for ur base use reisin and fiberglass matting witch makes the ply waterproof and strong put 2or3 layers off fiberglass matting on and bobs ur uncle. i have done fiberglass ponds thats where i got the idea from. if its good enough for the mosquito airplane in world war 2 it should be great for chipbox sides and top

I paid 700 for the steel sides for mine, that include all the cutting and folding to create the joins and all the reinforcers etc. and some design costs too.

 

I still had to bolt it all together and make the roof and foamex sides which all cost a bit extra, maybe 800-850 all together.
