New Shanty

[OGGYDOGGY]

I sold my shanty last summer that I had for 5 yrs. it had a wood stove and it was 5x8 . Oh it was heavy ,and my son is in NC now and I am going to build a new one . It will be 86.5"x 86.5"x 7' , I will be using light weight matierals , and a 20,000 btu wall heater, this will be my best one to date I have the plans all drawn up , it should be done by now but I had to repair the quad to plow snow 1st , so I used some of the stashed cash $$$ and the repair was not cheap .I will be starting it this coming weekend. I should have it done before shantyable ice . Any ideas for light weight matierials will be considered and appreciated. thanks GREG

If you don't mind my asking, why have you chosen 7'-2-1/2" x 7'-2-1/2" as your dimensions?  Something to do with highway travel restrictions or something?  Just curious....

                   The dims. are because where I work ,they have these strong plastic pallets that they use in the winter and they are always outside. They should be strong enough for a shanty , they ussually carry drums around on them. I plan to put 4 of them squared up and that is the dim. I want them cause they are lite and strong.Ill try to get some pics up as I build it.

This will be interesting to see as a finished product I think!  Please take pics throughout the construction process, although I'm quite sure you probably already plan on doing so!!!!

Good luck too!
