plywood bin for wood chipper

[brisbane trees]

Hi Everyone.

 

I just got a wood chipper, and I want to build a temporary bin from plywood until I can weld up a longer term one.

 

Would 9mm plywood hold? The tray is only 3m long and 2m wide and I'd use the 1220mm width of the plywood as the height. It works out to be ~ 5 cubic metres. I'd use decent pine framing on it.

 

I have some trees I'm trimming and removing next week and want a quick fix, but having it collapse on the road wouldn't be a good look

Thanks, I think I'll run with your advice. I would have thought that to start with, but I had a couple of 9mm lying around that I use as hungry boards on the truck atm.

 

I was just trying to save a few dollars, but I guess embarrassing myself on my first run with the wood chipper wouldn't have been worth it.

Has anyone used ply to make a bin, by the way? Are there any other issues with it?
