I'm looking at running up to the cities before the snow flies, and possibly picking up stuff for a box while I'm there. I'm looking at a straight 12 footer. I have all the lumber, but nothing else. Can somebody give some approximate guess at how much I would be spending?
 
top sheets arnt cheap. i just got back from home depot looking to get some lexan but to completely cover my box it was gonna cast me 115 bucks. i got this hard ass plastic pannel board. it looks like its gonna work. it was 30 bucks and i went at it with my ski a hammer and a knife and it didnt peel up like plexi does. ill let you know if it works.
 
i spent like 55 on HDPE off usplastics.com that was a 1/4 for 2 eight foot boxes. i would go as thick as your wallet lets you. if i had the cash i would of gotten half inch
 
i got some acryllic stuff and i havent used it yet but i think it will get the job done. i think it was like 30 dollars
 
you could buy steel coping and use that, or angle iron the sides because it sticks up

idk
 
My dad brought me home a role of pretty thin hdpe but im just gonna stack up on eachother. And i think itll work
 
45 bucks for a flat down box ( 1 ft wide, 4 foot flat, 10ft down, plywood base and lexan surface) also i got the lexan for free
