Chip Box material cost/payload

[saintdeanop07]

What's the best material for building a light, durable and cost effective chip box which as well as collecting chip will also take loads of wood so needs to be strong enough to take a bit of a knock. Thanks in advance.

What about timber frame and plywood?

[saintdeanop07]

Yes I am. Anyone know if the rest a better alternative to planked ally which I'm looking towards?

[saintdeanop07]

Was hoping for a tidier look. Anything better than all planks?

I built one a couple of months ago out od 1.5inch box section and 1mm steel sheet, not at all heavy but strong and relitivly cheap and won't rot like ply does.

I think you need a compound approach. Thin steel sheet backed by ply. Acrylic plastic sheet back by ply as an alternative.
