Bock Box

[Wontolla]

 

Back to the box..... The one in the pictures has a welded steel frame - be sure of your joints if you plan on making one entirely from wood.

Looking at that picture and I notic the you should have put the cross members ontop of the upright 
But they look stronge anyway 

If you made the three levels separete you could nest them together to store or moving about 
Saying that why you could use the side panels to hold them in place 

I'm not thinking of selling these but I wood at a box makers 
I could find out what these would cost if we made them up for you Don't think it'll be cheap but would last for years !?

Some CLS timber from B&Q or some 2"x3" from a wood yard may be a best bet

[Sx Nutta]

I was planning on making one, for my garden, but I am sure that my other co habitors would not like it, lol

[aidanh1]

Good luck with making it fold and still being strong

Yeah, you're right Nero. I thought there were beads of weld in some of the corners but it can't be.

what did he use

[Sx Nutta]

looks like 2 by 4 or even 2 by 5, offers good strength in the frame, but the frame could be made stronger by running the short bracers, from the front of the platform to the back of the frame, means there is more strength and means more weigth can be applied to each level

theres always camo sx, like the army use like this..

Looks like 36mm by 9mm to me and the weakest piont is the front lip of the steps ( another upright would help ) 
Is there a cross memeber missing off the botton step ( the top two have them ) ?
If the ply is nice a thick and screwed on tight to the top of the steps it will reinforce the strengh

May try a collapsible model, so watch this space in the summer months, lol
