It looks good. Just a little advise is to get longer shocks. And to put your locking hinges about 6inches from both front ends to lock the sides down. Will be better for you and put some type of sealer on it . Then paint it, I would also put a weather stip on it to keep it nice and clean from the outdoors. But good job...

Great tips, thank you!

sealer, or as i did, fiberglass cover. no need for weather strip (although i installed it), and looks damn awesome too.

I wanted to add a window, but wasn’t sure how to make it water proof. Or a nice little fan could help. But yeah, not sure how it would hold up in summer.

Nice built, I think you can Isolait the box with Amaflex to stay warmer on cold and windy days.

This is awesome! What is the total weight?

@lukeshaia Жыл бұрын

I didn’t get a final number, but based off the struts used, somewhere between 80-120 pounds.

@ApocGuy Жыл бұрын

maybe i've missed the mentioning, but how did you fix the canvas to the frame? if its with screws, there is good chance that high winds will simply rip it off. but if you "sandwiched" the fabric between floor and outer frame of shell, then the force will be distributed evenly and lower the stress on fabric in high winds. if you have time, try to cover at least upper part of tent with fiberglass, its not that expensive (time consuming for sure), will deff help with environmental protection and makes your product more " professionally built" ;)

@lukeshaia Жыл бұрын

That’s a great idea to sand which it between the two layers! I did just use screws to the frame. I like the fiberglass idea, like you said, very time consuming hahah but would make it a lot more durable!

I wouldn’t call it finished just yet. You need some weather strip to keep out water and some fiberglass mesh and resin to completely waterproof it.

@lukeshaia Жыл бұрын

Those are some good ideas!

@andriyzhelekh4266 Жыл бұрын

Looking good. I would just have to say that it may be useful to add vents or maybe even a fan in this case. It would provide some fresh air and would help to reduce condensation. Would you mind to share what was your total cost of all the materials (including bolts and nuts, paint) and the time spend on this project? Thank you

@lukeshaia Жыл бұрын

In total material cost it was about $900. The time it took was a few days after work for 2-3 hours. So maybe around 10-12. I didn’t keep good track of the time spent. I like your suggestions, I was trying to come up with an idea for a window that was water proof, but wasn’t able to come up with one when I finished putting it all together.

@@lukeshaia if only ventilation is needed, 4 or 5 inch vent cover (hardware store) or one of those rectangular ventcover from mobile homes/RV should help. if you need window for illumination, plexiglass with custom frame or one of those small pop up went windows from mobile home should work well too.

That's a good idea for homeless people to be mobile. Might be too heavy to carry though

@lukeshaia 9 ай бұрын

Definitely not for carrying around, it’s an awkward size. Takes two people to load onto the back of a truck. But, I’m sure there could be something like it for them.
