method9455 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yea I've built 2 boxes and a rail and was very happy with them. Not hard at all, they took about 3-4 hours each to build + if you want to paint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Wall Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 i built 2 boxes a while ago and covered them in a thin steel piece and it slid but didnt go on as clean as i wanted. Does any body know what the name of the white surface material is on the boxes at most mountains, and if so, do you know where i can buy it?

Stevo Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well, Shadows and i had a joint effort on this box: The frame was made out of 2x4s. After that, dan skirted that mofo with whatever plywood he could find. The topsheet is formica, which slides like a dream. The coping was all me. I took 3/4"black pipe, welded it to length, capped the ends, and welded mounting tabs. The box slides awesome. The black pipe was about $10 per 10foot length The formica was $50 for a 4x8 sheet. If anyone's interested in a sick box, shoot me a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white stuff you're looking for is HDPE, or high density polyethylene. Look around for plastic suppliers. Though some require minimum bulk orders, you may be able to find something. WARNING- it's not gonna be cheap. Also, some people are against lexan/plexiglass. If you make your box strong enough though, and have the coping dialed right, plexiglass will work fine. Formica is the shit though. Really nice, and priced reasonably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What thicknesses and sizes does it come in? And what about pricing? That's the shit they make legos out of, abs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrwilco Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 home depot sells lexan pretty cheap, and that slides really good and is durable as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
