i have been playing with this design but am going to be using furring strips 1x2 inch by 6 or 8 foot and luann 6x8 foot sheets. instead of ply-wood for lightness to travel lighter. all will bolt together like in video below. edge to edge like in video the walls will. with like a 1/4 inch bolts and t-nuts the roof will just be slant but made just like the rest of the walls. all insulated with 1 inch thick foam. the hole design will be about 5 foot by 4 foot square by 6 foot tall. figure it is big enough to heat with a buddy heater so not to coast a lo. any ways maybe this video will give some ideas??? still have yet to finish it just started on the design last night..
The shanty I built in my posting above was framed up with 3/4" x 1-1/4" bass wood and 3/4" foam sheets glued to the frame, the panels were very stiff. The second shanty I built I framed it with 3/4"x3/4" I didn't add luan on the bottom I just framed it like the top half and used 3/4" foam, it was lighter leaving the laun off. You for sure could make these walls as one panel and bolt them together on site.

This shanty is 4x6 has 4 holes and big enough for 2 guys/gals.
That is a cool little shack. did you glue the foam in to keep in in place or cut cut it tight and it stays in.
