Trying to figure out what the above is made of weather roto molded  or blow molded plastic etc was wondering how heavy it was and what it's made of??  Looks like some thing I could use..

Looks like it is roto-molded. It is a hard plastic like a coleman cooler if it is.

It’s compressed styrofoam with thick coating of rhino bed liner

I like the idea. I didn't see a weight anywhere. It would be a lot nicer if it completely closed though. Definitely has me thinking. I have been wanting to build a portable one man hardside for a while.

Seems like a lot of money for what is essentially a windbreak.

It is actually a repurposed beer cooler with a keg compartment - set on end. Or, a lake outhouse that forgot the hole.

You sure can make something like this for a lot less the $650.00. Frame it up with 2x2's and sheet it with 1 inch 4x8 sheets of foil face foam insulation. You could paint the foam and it would make it very light! I just sketched up a plan 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep my estimate would be less then $80.00 and if you wanted to go bigger maybe $100.00 This would be fun to build!

Here is one I though would be nice also. Google: Silver Shanty. I know they use it for a spearing shanty but you can make into what you want.

Exactly my plan beeler it to make a similar one.. that's why I asked what's it's made of?? Compressed foam sounds about right  that's rhino lined ..  I like the idea of a light shack I can pull by hand..  but it cost to much for a simple wind break and want a cube around me .. I am thinking like beeler the cogs are turning..

my buddy built on out of 1 5/8" metal stud track and 1 1/2" foam board. his is a full enclosure that folds up bit you could esily build it like this and it would be super light. if i find the video ill post it.

Looks like an aluminum frame with styrofoam insulation panels. I'd say throw on a Smitty Sled setup and it's complete.
