making a 6x8 dark house lighter?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys I'm trying to make myself a new dark house. I would like it to be 6x6 or 6x8. The one I have right now is a 4x4 and it just isn't working for me anymore. I need a new one but it has to be light enough to be pulled by my snowmobile or four-wheeler. I've seen some built out of 2x2 boards and some out of old insulated garage doors. Any building advice or floorplans would be great. 

Thanks

I would think the rubber would be lighter, but if you are saving money then maybe use the siding...

Looks good! I like plywood and rubber, seals well, use spray adhesive to keep it on the use stair metal edging for the edge caps and nail into the wall and not the roof

I don’t know if you’re planning on sleeping on the bench, but if not, I’d shorten it up to make fishing in the round holes easier.
